SYNOPSIS
     use Perinci::CmdLine::Call qw(call_cli_script);

     # returns an enveloped response
     my $res = call_cli_script(
         script => "lcpan",
         argv   => [qw/deps -R Text::ANSI::Util/],
     );

     # sample result:
     # [200, "OK", [
     #     {author=>"PERLANCAR", module=>"Text::WideChar::Util", version=>"0.10"},
     #     {author=>"NEZUMI"   , module=>"  Unicode::GCString" , version=>"0"},

DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONS
  call_cli_script
    Usage:

     call_cli_script(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

    "Call" a Perinci::CmdLine-based script.

    CLI scripts which use "Perinci::CmdLine" module family (e.g.
    "Perinci::CmdLine::Lite" or "Perinci::CmdLine::Classic") have some
    common features, e.g. support JSON output.

    This routine provides a convenience way to get a data structure from
    running a CLI command. It basically just calls the script with "--json"
    and "--no-naked-res" then decodes the JSON result so you get a data
    structure directly. Will return error 599 if output is not valid JSON.

    Other features might be added in the future, e.g. retry, custom
    configuration file, etc.

    This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   argv => *array[str]* (default: [])

        (No description)

    *   script* => *str*

        (No description)

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
    code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
    element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
    like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
    result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
    response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
    called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
    metadata.

    Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING
    To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
    requests on GitHub.

    Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
    can simply modify the code, then test via:

     % prove -l

    If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
    on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
    Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
    Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
    other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
    required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
