    mojo version
    mojo generate lite-app
    ./myapp.pl daemon -m production -l http://*:8080
    ./myapp.pl get /foo
    ./myapp.pl routes -v
  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" environment variable.

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

Load application from class and start the command line interface for it. Note that the options "-h"/"--help", "--home" and "-m"/"--mode", which are shared by all commands, will be parsed from @ARGV during compile time.

  # Always start daemon for application
  Mojolicious::Commands->start_app('MyApp', 'daemon', '-l', 'http://*:8080');
