Add command-line program for spitting out license etc
neilb opened this issue · comments
More than once (hey, I'm getting old) I've gone to S::L looking for a command-line script that will spit out a license according to various options.
I end up finding App::Software::License of course, but I think that such a program should be part of this dist. That uses Moose though, so in its current form it probably can't be dropped here, but how about a Mooified version?
There's already requests to reduce the number of dependencies this module has, so I don't think using Moo would be a great option. It would be pretty trivial to write an app just using Getopt::Long directly though.
If we spec it out in these comments, maybe this module might get assigned to someone in the PRC for December, you never know ...

Agreed. Such a tool would be useful, but can be written fairly minimalistic.
A patch converting App::Software::License to away from Moose would be very thankfully received; there is a wishlist ticket in its queue already for that. We can certainly look at merging that code into Software-License as well, once the dependencies have shrunk.

Ironically, I suspect it's the configuration management (Config::Any) that's harder to get rid of than the Moose dependency.
