💅 MODULE-FAKER ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual — you know, the 1p girlies — and today we're talking about module-faker. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

module-faker — fake up CPAN distributions with Module::Faker 💖

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 0.027 — yes, that's the one, no cap. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

module-faker [-s|--src STR] [-d|--dest STR] [-p|--author-dir]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. four little flags and you're off building fake dists like it's nothing. ✨

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

okay so this module is meant to work on any version of perl that's still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. and what does that mean, you ask? it means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. 💀 like, say the most recently released version is v5.40 — then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. slay.

okay but listen — it might work on older versions of perl, but no guarantee is made that the minimum required version won't get bumped up. the version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. so don't come for her. 😭

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -s STR, --src STR — the source directory. where the good stuff lives. 🍓
  • -d STR, --dest STR — the destination directory. where the fake dists go to be born. 🫶
  • -p, --author-dir — write dists into A/U/AUTHOR dirs. yes, that specific shape. it's giving CPAN author directory energy. 🌈
