I have written a midsized CLI application. Once I copied it to our development server I noticed it doesn't recognize or know any of its commands if run there. I minimized the code to the following example which works in my local machine but not on the server. What cloud be the reason?
package MyApp;
use MooseX::App;
1;
package MyApp::Yay;
use MooseX::App::Command;
sub run {print "yay\n"}
1;
package main;
MyApp->new_with_command->run;
1;
Save that in a file my_app.pl and call it like:
perl my_app.pl yay
Expected output:
yay
On the development server the little application doesn't accept yay as a command nor does it list any command in the help. The output looks like this:
Unknown command 'yay'
usage:
my_app.pl <command> [long options...]
my_app.pl help
my_app.pl <command> --help
global options:
--help -h --usage -? Prints this usage information. [Flag]
available commands:
help Prints this usage information
The software involved is:
Unfortunately I cannot install different Perl versions on the development server but I doubt it's related to Perl itself. Update: It actually turned out that Perl 5.10.0 broke MooseX::App.
Does the program know the yay command when you execute it? Do you have any hint why it won't work?
5.10.0 was a fairly buggy version of perl. Try another version using perlbrew.
