πŸ’– REBUILDPERL πŸ’–

okay so bestie, gather round, because this one's called rebuild and it's literally the glow-up button for perl packages ✨ (yes it ships as REBUILDPERL(1), the man page for the rebuild command, and it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation situation πŸŽ€)

✨ NAME ✨

rebuild β€” rebuilds perl packages from scratch πŸ¦‹

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the main character goal here is rebuilding perl module packages for Fedora πŸ’… that's the whole vibe, that's the mission.

and the way it does it? the rebuild is driven from bottom to top πŸ‘‘ like, it starts at the perl interpreter and works its way up to the modules that depend on the intermediate modules. bottom ➑️ top, no skipping, no shortcuts, just the natural order of the dependency food chain πŸ“

why is that iconic tho? because it means you can upgrade the perl interpreter to an incompatible version and then rebuild all the modules against that shiny new interpreter 😭πŸ”₯ fr fr, that's the whole point. new interpreter, everyone gets recompiled against it, nobody gets left behind on the old ABI. slay.
