MKDTSKEL(1p)

💅 mkdtskel — the Perl skeleton glow-up generator 💅

okay bestie, so mkdtskel lives in the 1p section of the manual (that's the "User Contributed Perl Documentation" shelf ✨) and it is literally here to hand you a starter file so you can process XML with XML::DT. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

mkdtskel — a Perl code skeleton generator, built to process XML files with XML::DT 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mkdtskel [-lines=20000] <xmlfile>

mkdtskel -dtd <dtdfile>

mkdtskel -html <htmlfile>

three whole modes, pick your fighter 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the way this works: you run this command when you want to prepare a skeleton file packed with the basic code you need to process your XML file with XML::DT. that's the whole point of it, fr fr.

the command goes through and checks the element names, and then for each one it checks the attributes. and because nobody has memory in this economy, all of that info gets described on the generated file so the programmer can remember it later. it's giving "notes app but make it Perl" 📝💖

basically: it does the reconnaissance, you do the coding. iconic behavior.
