=head1 NAME

meta - A simple front-end to Acme::MetaSyntactic

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<meta> [ I<--whitespace|ws> ] [ I<--help> ] [ I<--version> ] [ I<--remote> ] [ I<--check> ] [ I<--sources> ] [ I<--category category> ]  I<theme>[I</category>] [ I<count> ]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<meta> is a simple front-end to Acme::MetaSyntactic.

A few examples should make it easy to understand what it does and how
it works:

    $ meta
    baz
    $ meta batman
    powie
    $ meta donmartin 3
    kloong
    thoof_foing
    weeooweeeoooo
    $ meta -ws browser 4
    arachne netscape voyager w3m

In short, the default theme is C<foo>, the default count is 1, the default
separator is C<$/>, but you can replace it by whitespace with I<--ws>.

=head1 COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

The following command-line options are available:

=head2 Metasyntactic options

=over 4

=item I<--whitespace>, I<--ws>

Print all items on a single line, separated by space.

=item I<--remote>

Fetch the remote list (if available) and print it.

=item I<--check>

Fetch the remote list (if available) and print only the differences betwen
the current list and the remote list (items are prefixed by C<+> and C<->).

Option added by Abigail.

The output of this option is affected by the I<--whitespace> option.

=item I<--category> category

Only select items in the given category (for C<Acme::MetaSyntactic::MultiList>
subclasses). If not given, use the default category.

Silently fallbacks to the default if the category doesn't exist.

Another way to ask for a specific category is to skip the I<--category>
option and directly ask for C<theme/category>. Note that you cannot use
both calling conventions simultaneously.

=head2 Informative options

The program will exit if any of these options is selected.
However, these options can be combined.

=over 4

=item I<--themes>

Print the list of available themes.

=item I<--sources>

Print the URLs used by a remote list.

=item I<--version>

Print version information.

=item I<--help>

Print a short help message.

=back

=head1 SUCCESS STORIES

B<meta> is the script of choice for a new generation of hackers.
Here are a few comments from satisfied users:

=over 4

=item *

I<C<Acme::MetaSyntactic> makes me more productive when I have to write
regression tests for my Perl modules. No more do I spend time looking
for variable names! It simply changed my life.>

-- Rafael Garcia-Suarez, pumpking,
used AMS when writing tests for C<Sub::Identify>.

=item *

I<C<Acme::MetaSyntactic> gave names for regression tests in the Perl core>

See L<http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse?patch=26370>.

=item *

I<Your module has been a wonderful timesaver for me. How much time I used to
spend on thinking about good and meaningful variable names, and now I have
them at the snap of a finger!>

-- Gisbert W. Selke

=head1 EXAMPLES OF USE

Ever needed to debug with the help of a few C<print()> statements?
Simply map some keystrokes to insert a warning where you want it.
With B<meta>, you will never need to think about what write in the
string argument:

    nmap _wa :r!meta donmartin<CR>iwarn"<Esc>A";<Esc>==

(This mapping kindly given by Rafael Garcia-Suarez.)
