Usage: APPLICATION COMMAND [OPTIONS]
mojo version
mojo generate lite-app
./myapp.pl daemon -m production -l http://*:8080
./myapp.pl get /foo

Tip: CGI and PSGI environments can be automatically detected very often and
work without commands.
Options (for all commands):
-h, --help Get more information on a specific command
--home <path> Path to home directory of your application, defaults to
the value of MOJO_HOME or auto-detection
-m, --mode <name> Operating mode for your application, defaults to the
value of MOJO_MODE/PLACK_ENV or "development"

Mojolicious::Commands inherits all attributes from Mojolicious::Command and implements the following new ones.
my $hint = $commands->hint;
$commands = $commands->hint('Foo');
Short hint shown after listing available commands.
my $msg = $commands->message;
$commands = $commands->message('Hello World!');
Short usage message shown before listing available commands.
my $namespaces = $commands->namespaces;
$commands = $commands->namespaces(['MyApp::Command']);
Namespaces to load commands from, defaults to Mojolicious::Command::Author
and Mojolicious::Command
.
# Add another namespace to load commands from
push @{$commands->namespaces}, 'MyApp::Command';
Mojolicious::Commands inherits all methods from Mojolicious::Command and implements the following new ones.
my $env = $commands->detect;
Try to detect environment, or return undef
if none could be detected.
$commands->run;
$commands->run(@ARGV);
Load and run commands. Automatic deployment environment detection can be disabled with the MOJO_NO_DETECT

Mojolicious::Commands->start_app('MyApp');
Mojolicious::Commands->start_app(MyApp => @ARGV);
