App::Cmd::Subdispatch(3p)

NAME
App::Cmd::Subdispatch - an App::Cmd::Command that is also an App::Cmd

VERSION
version 0.340

PERL VERSION
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

METHODS

  new
A hackish new that allows us to have an Command instance before they normally exist.

  prepare
  my $subcmd = $subdispatch->prepare($app, @args);

An overridden version of "prepare" in App::Cmd::Command that performs a new dispatch cycle.

  app
  $subdispatch->app;

This method returns the application that this subdispatch is a command of.

  choose_parent_app
  $subcmd->prepare(
    $subdispatch->choose_parent_app($app, $opt, $plugin),
    @$args
  );

A method that chooses whether the parent app or the subdispatch is going to be "$cmd->app".
