A Perl 6 application: App::Example

This application is complete and uses all kind of system features, including (but not limited to)

• Non-Perl dependencies (sqlite.so, /usr/sbin/kvm-ok)

• Crontab entries (/etc/cron.d/app-example)

• System service dependencies (a working imaps server on port 993)
• System resource dependencies (an unused port 80 on localhost)
• Some executables that have to be installed in different locations
• Nagios script to check and report if the App::Example server is working
• Templates (.tpl) to be installed with the app
• Language files (.po) to be installed with the app
• A SysV startup script for managing the app daemon
• A systemd startup script
• Configuration files for setting up a necessary service dependency
• Test files
• Test data for populating a demo database
• Database migration/upgrade/downgrade scripts
• POD files
• Public databases (e.g. a download of the Olson timezone database)
• Enough metadata to help newbies figure out what's going on
