Dpkg::Control::Types(3perl)

πŸ’… Dpkg::Control::Types β€” no cap, it's a whole vibe

okay bestie, so this page lives in the libdpkg-perl manual fam, and honestly? It's short, it's sweet, and it's giving "backstage pass, do not touch" energy. Let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

Dpkg::Control::Types β€” literally just here to export the CTRL_* constants. That's the whole job. Iconic minimalism, honestly 🫢


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like… bestie, listen. You should not use this module directly, fr fr. Like, not me catching you importing it straight up πŸ™ˆ. What you actually want is Dpkg::Control, which also re-exports the exact same constants β€” so you get the goods without the awkwardness. Slay.

The way this module got introduced is genuinely so specific: it exists solely to avoid a dependency loop between Dpkg::Control and Dpkg::Control::Fields. That's it. That's the reason. A whole module as a peacekeeper between two other modules 😭 we love a diplomat.

⚠️ Note: this is a private module β€” its API can change at any time. So don't get attached, okay? No cap. It's giving "we're not officially dating" energy πŸ’€
