SYNOPSIS
    In "gen-random-num" script:

     use Perinci::CmdLine::Lite;

     our %SPEC;

     $SPEC{gen_random_num} = {
         v => 1.1,
         summary => 'Generate some random numbers',
         args => {
             count => {
                 summary => 'How many numbers to generate',
                 schema => ['int*' => min=>0],
                 default => 1,
                 cmdline_aliases=>{n=>{}},
                 req => 1,
                 pos => 0,
             },
             min => {
                 summary => 'Lower limit of random number',
                 schema => 'float*',
                 default => 0,
             },
             max => {
                 summary => 'Upper limit of random number',
                 schema => 'float*',
                 default => 1,
             },
         },
         result_naked => 1,
     };
     sub gen_random_num {
         my %args = @_;

         my @res;
         for (1..$args{count}) {
             push @res, $args{min} + rand()*($args{max}-$args{min});
         }
         \@res;
     }

     Perinci::CmdLine::Lite->new(url => '/main/gen_random_num')->run;

    See Perinci::CmdLine::Manual for details on other available features
    (subcommands, automatic formatting of data structures, automatic schema
    validation, dry-run mode, automatic POD generation, remote function

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.

REQUEST KEYS
    All those supported by Perinci::CmdLine::Base, plus:

RESULT METADATA
    All those supported by Perinci::CmdLine::Base, plus:

  x.hint.result_binary => bool
    If set to true, then when formatting to "text" formats, this class won't
    print any newline to keep the data being printed unmodified.

ATTRIBUTES
    All the attributes of Perinci::CmdLine::Base, plus:

  validate_args => bool (default: 1)
METHODS
    All the methods of Perinci::CmdLine::Base, plus:

ENVIRONMENT
    All the environment variables that Perinci::CmdLine::Base supports,
    plus:

  DEBUG
    Set log level to 'debug'.

  VERBOSE
    Set log level to 'info'.

  QUIET
    Set log level to 'error'.

  TRACE
    Set log level to 'trace'.

  LOG_LEVEL
    Set log level.

  PROGRESS => BOOL
    Explicitly turn the progress bar on/off.

  FORMAT_PRETTY_TABLE_COLUMN_ORDERS => array (json)
    Set the default of "table_column_orders" in "format_options" in result
    metadata, similar to what's implemented in Perinci::Result::Format and
    Data::Format::Pretty::Console.
