pake program run task specified in the command line and executes it with dependencies defined in Pakefile.

pake comes with predefined tasks for file and directory manipulations and for running tests. For details refer to other Modules

        use strict;
        use warnings;

    -f FILE, changes the script file name to the specified, default Pakefile
    -h, print help contents
    -d DIR, changes the working directory
    -D,  prints all tasks with dependencies
    -r, Dry run, executes Pakefile to check if script is properly formed
    -V, prints pake version

EXAMPLE PAKEFILE

        #default task
        default "test2";

        task {
                print "test\n";
        } "test";

        directory{

                `gcc -c biblioteka.c`
