14 MooseX::Runnable - tag a class as a runnable application
18 Create a class, tag it runnable, and provide a C<run> method:
20 package App::HelloWorld;
24 with 'MooseX::Runnable';
27 my ($self,$name) = @_;
32 Then you can run this class as an application with the included
35 $ mx-run App::HelloWorld jrockway
39 C<MooseX::Runnable> supports L<MooseX::Getopt|MooseX::Getopt>, and
40 other similar systems (and is extensible, in case you have written

52 This role tells the computer that your class uses this convention, and
53 let's the computer abstract away some of the tedium this entails.
55 =head1 REQUIRED METHODS
61 This is a script that accepts a C<MooseX::Runnable> class and tries to
62 run it, using C<MooseX::Runnable::Run>.
68 mx-run <args for mx-run> -- Class::Name <args for Class::Name>
72 mx-run -Ilib App::HelloWorld --args --go --here
76 mx-run -Ilib +Persistent --port 8080 -- App::HelloWorld --args --go --here
78 =head2 C<MooseX::Runnable::Run>
80 If you don't want to invoke your app with C<mx-run>, you can write a
81 custom version using L<MooseX::Runnable::Run|MooseX::Runnable::Run>.
