πŸŽ€ CPANSIGN πŸŽ€

okay bestie, settle in, we're talking about cpansign from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and honestly? it's giving "small tool, big power." πŸ’–

✨ NAME ✨

cpansign β€” yes that's it, that's the name, literal icon behavior πŸ’…

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.96 β€” she's been around, she's seasoned, she's your favorite 🫢

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

here's the whole vibe in one glance, no cap:

    % cpansign              # verify an existing SIGNATURE, or
                            # make a new one if none exists

    % cpansign file.par     # verify or sign a PAR file

    % cpansign sign         # make signature; overwrites existing one
    % cpansign -s           # same thing

    % cpansign verify       # verify a signature
    % cpansign -v           # same thing
    % cpansign -v --skip    # ignore files in MANIFEST.SKIP

    % cpansign help         # display this documentation
    % cpansign -h           # same thing

run it with zero args and she'll verify an existing SIGNATURE for you, or whip up a brand new one if there isn't one yet. point her at a file.par and she'll verify or sign it. use sign (or -s) to make a signature β€” heads up, that overwrites your existing one, so know that before you go feral πŸ”₯. verify (or -v) checks a signature, and if you add --skip she'll ignore the files listed in MANIFEST.SKIP. need the docs? help or -h, easy πŸ’œ

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

this utility lets you create and verify SIGNATURE files. that's the whole job. she does it, she does it well, main character energy πŸ‘‘
