GETTING STARTED

Start server on port 5000

$ twiggy lib/MetaCPAN/Web.pm

The backend defaults to api.metacpan.org. Running a local API server is optional and not required to hack on the front-end.

For developing you should run the front-end as follows:

$ METACPAN_API=localhost:5000 twiggy lib/MetaCPAN/Web.pm -p 5001 -R . -E development

This will use the API server at localhost:5000 and sets the port of the front-end to 5001. The process will watch changes in the current directory and start with the Twiggy server.
