NAME

App::Rad::Help - 'help' command extension for App::Rad

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

you can add inline help for your App::Rad commands via $c->register() or $c->register_commands():

use App::Rad;
App::Rad->run();

sub setup {
    my $c = shift;
    
    $c->register_commands( {
            foo => 'expand your foo!',
            bar => 'have a drink! arguments: --drink=DRINK',
        });
        
    $c->register('baz', \&baz, 'do your thing');
}

you can also do it with the attribute 'Help' in your subs

sub my_command :Help(this is my command) {
    ...
}

sub another_cmd
:Help(yet another command)
{
    ...
}
