💖 Acme::Alien::DontPanic2 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for Acme::Alien::DontPanic2 — a Perl module, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? it's giving ✨ test fixture energy ✨ and we love her for it.

🌈 NAME 🌈

Acme::Alien::DontPanic2 — the Test Module for Alien::Base + Alien::Build, no cap 🫶

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.7200 — that's the one, that's the whole vibe check 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, Alien::Base is a bunch of base classes that help you construct "Alien::" modules. and modules chillin' in the Alien namespace? their whole job is to locate and install (if necessary!!) external libraries that other Perl modules need. iconic behavior, honestly 👑

now this module right here — Acme::Alien::DontPanic2 — is a toy module. like, its entire purpose is to test the efficacy of the Alien::Base system. not me being a little lab rat 🐭✨

and here's the tea: this module is depended on by another toy module, Acme::Ford::Prefect, which needs the libdontpanic library to be able to tell us the "answer". the answer!! literally the answer!! and we cannot get it without libdontpanic fr fr 😭

so yeah. Acme::Ford::Prefect needs libdontpanic, libdontpanic comes from here, and the whole thing is a little ecosystem of toy modules testing Alien::Base. it's giving besties supporting besties 🫶

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

  • Alien::Base — the base classes doing the heavy lifting, the main character of this whole saga 👑
  • Alien — the namespace where all the library-locating besties live
  • Acme::Ford::Prefect — the toy module that depends on us, the one who needs the "answer" 🍓
