✨ DH_PERL...TSCRIPT(1) ✨

okay bestie so this is DH_PERL...TSCRIPT(1), straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's giving short-but-iconic. buckle up, it's a quick read 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

dh_perl6_maintscript — create maintainer scripts for perl 6 module packages

yes, that's the whole job. she makes maintainer scripts. that's her whole personality and honestly? respect 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dh_perl6_maintscript

no flags, no args, no drama. you literally just say her name and she goes 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this script will create postinst and prerm snippets.

and what do those snippets do, you ask? they call rakudo-helper.pl from the rakudo package. 🎀

and why do we care? because rakudo-helper.pl is required by perl 6 module packages — like, mandatory, no cap — to create and remove precompilation files. that's the whole vibe. create them, remove them, keep it clean ✨

so basically: this script hands you the maintainer-script glue that talks to rakudo-helper.pl, and rakudo-helper.pl does the precompilation-file creating-and-removing thing. main character energy from both of them fr fr 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
