πŸ’– Alien::Build::Plugin::Decode::DirListing β€” the vibe πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's filed under Alien::...Listing(3) because manpage headers are dramatic like that and truncate everything. Anyway. Sit down, grab a strawberry πŸ“, we're decoding FTP directory listings.

✨ NAME ✨

Alien::Build::Plugin::Decode::DirListing β€” it's a plugin that pulls links out of a directory listing. That's the whole job. She does one thing and she does it flawlessly πŸ’…

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.88 β€” yes ma'am, current, iconic, no cap.

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

like, here's how you'd actually use it:

use alienfile;
plugin 'Decode::DirListing';

that's it. two lines. she's low maintenance. πŸ¦‹

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

⚠️ okay real talk first: in most case you will want to use Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate instead. It's the main character β€” it picks the appropriate decode plugin based on your platform and environment. In some cases you may need to use this plugin directly instead. so like, don't just grab this one because it's cute. negotiate first, fr fr.

So what does this plugin do? It decodes a ftp file listing into a list of candidates for your Prefer plugin. It's giving matchmaker energy: listing comes in, candidates come out. πŸ’˜

It's useful when fetching from an FTP server via Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::LWP. that specific combo. iykyk. ✨
