=head1 NAME

Module::New - creates module/distribution skeleton and more

  From a command line

  > module_new dist Dist-Name
  > cd Dist-Name/trunk
  > module_new file Dist::Name::Plugin
  > module_new file t/dist_test.t --edit
  > module_new manifest --force

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is yet another module starter. You can use this not only when you create a new distribution but also when you add a new module or test or plain text to the distribution. You may want to edit a new file after creation. You may want to update MANIFEST. This'll do.

Generally, 'module_new' command takes one recipe (sub-command) name, arguments for the recipe and global or local options if any. See appropriate PODs for details.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 options

specifies global command line options, which all the recipes (sub-commands) should have.

=head2 default

specifies a default recipe which would be executed when you don't give any recipe ('help' by default). 

=head2 dispatch

parses command line options and dispatches to the requested recipe.

=head2 setup

sets up a context object.

=head2 context

sets up a context object if necessary, and returns the object.
