💖 IO::Compress::Base(3perl) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the <pink>Perl Programmers Reference Guide</pink> ✨ — you're on the IO::Compress::Base(3perl) page, and no cap, this one is short but it's important. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

IO::Compress::Base — the Base Class for IO::Compress modules, periodt. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use IO::Compress::Base ;

like yes, that's the whole thing. it's giving minimal. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this module is not meant to be used directly in your application code. 🙈 not even a little. its sole purpose in life is to be subclassed by IO::Compress modules. that's it. that's the whole job. it's the base class bestie, the foundation, the supportive friend holding everyone else up while they slay. 🌈
