1. Introduction 
---------------

A set of basic templates for Perl applications that take and parse command
line options. Based on the ideas from Perl Best Practices, the GNU style long
options reference and other Perl::Critic policies.

The newest version can always be found at:
https://github.com/kimmel/basic-perl-template-for-cli/

bpt_cli.pl - Is a basic cli app for Perl prior to v5.10

bpt_cli_cf.pl - A basic cli perl app with config file support.

modulino.pl - Is the same as bpt_cli.pl but in a module instead of script form. This allows the program to use module development and testing tools.



2. Requirements
---------------
Any CPAN modules list at the top of the template selected need to be installed.



3. Reporting bugs
