DESCRIPTION
Perinci::CmdLine is a command-line application framework. It allows you
to create full-featured CLI applications easily and quickly.
See Perinci::CmdLine::Manual for more details.
There is also a blog post series on Perinci::CmdLine tutorial:
<https://perlancar.wordpress.com/category/pericmd-tut/>
Perinci::CmdLine::Lite is the default backend implementation. Another
implementation is the heavier Perinci::CmdLine::Classic which has a
couple of more features not yet incorporated into ::Lite, e.g.
transactions.
You normally should use Perinci::CmdLine::Any instead to be able to
switch backend on the fly.
