👑 HTML_FO...UMPCONF(1) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to HTML_FO...UMPCONF(1) — yes the name is literally abbreviated with dots, it's giving mysterious, it's giving "the terminal cut it off and nobody fixed it". It's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, and honestly? It's tiny and it's iconic. Let's go. 🦋

👀 DESCRIPTION (the feral one at the top) 😭

so before we even get to the actual NAME section, the page opens with this raw little scrap of text, and I am not editing it because it is what it is. Here it is, verbatim, in all its unhinged glory:

Uses Config::Any and Data::Dumper to display how your config file is parsed.  HELP }

__END__

yeah. HELP }. __END__. it's giving "the source file escaped into the docs". we respect it, we move on. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

html_formfu_dumpconf.pl — dump configuration files. that's it. that's the whole job. she dumps config files. periodt. 💖

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 2.07

ngl bestie, remember that number, it's the whole personality of this page.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

you run it like this, okay? one file, and it does the thing:

html_formfu_dumpconf.pl F<file.conf>

or, if you're feeling spicy and skipping the extension:

html_formfu_dumpconf.pl F<file>

that's it. two ways in. no flags. no options. no drama. 🫶

heads up: F<...> is just the manual-page way of marking a filename placeholder — you swap in your actual file, you don't type the F< and >. ok love u bye 💜

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here's the tea: this script uses Config::Any and Data::Dumper to display how your config file is parsed. 🔥

like... it reads your config, and then it shows you the resulting data structure so you can actually see what Perl thinks your config means. no guessing, no "why is my key undefined", just the parsed truth dumped out at you. it's basically a vibe check for your config file. 🌈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

  • Config::Any — the config-reading bestie doing the heavy lifting 💅
  • Data::Dumper — the one that prints the structure all pretty for you ✨
