πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so Alien::Build ships with a whole squad of manuals, and which one you want totally depends on how you're using Alien. no cap.

  • Alien::Build::Manual::Alien β€” the general alien author documentation. like, the overview vibe. πŸ‘‘
  • Alien::Build::Manual::AlienAuthor β€” alien author documentation. yes, that's a different one from the one above, they are sisters, not twins. πŸ’–
  • Alien::Build::Manual::AlienUser β€” alien user documentation, for when you're the one consuming the Alien, not making it. 🫢
  • Alien::Build::Manual::Contributing β€” the overly-detailed contributing guide. and when they say overly-detailed they MEAN it, she ate and then some. 😭
  • Alien::Build::Manual::FAQ β€” Frequently Asked Questions about Alien::Build. the classics. 🌈
  • Alien::Build::Manual::PluginAuthor β€” Alien::Build plugin author documentation β€” or how to extend Alien::Build with the plugin system. main character energy for extension devs. ✨
  • Alien::Build::Manual::Security β€” documents some of the challenges and configuration tools related to security of Aliens. yes we have a security manual, and yes you should care. πŸ”₯
not me noticing Security shows up in DESCRIPTION but not in the SYNOPSIS perldoc list β€” that's just how the original rolls, bestie, I'm reporting the facts not fixing them. πŸ™ˆ
