# Add another namespace to load commands from
push @{$commands->namespaces}, 'MyApp::Command';

METHODS

Mojolicious::Commands inherits all methods from Mojolicious::Command and implements the following new ones.

detect

my $env = $commands->detect;

Try to detect environment, or return undef if none could be detected.

run

$commands->run;
