πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Okay so bestie, welcome to Alien::Build::Plugin::Decode::HTML β€” it's a plugin that pulls links out of HTML, periodt. ✨

(Also hi, you're reading a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual, and yes the header up top got truncated to Alien::...e::HTML(3) β€” that's just how it's printed, don't panic, the real name is the long one above. 🫢)

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.88 β€” that's the one, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use alienfile;
plugin 'Decode::HTML';

That's literally it. Two lines. Iconic. πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

⚠️ Heads up first, bestie: in most cases you're gonna want to use Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate instead. It picks the right decode plugin all on its own based on your platform and your environment β€” a whole vibe check for your system. But sometimes, in some cases, you might need to use this plugin directly instead. You do you. πŸ’œ

So what does this little icon actually do? It decodes an HTML file listing and turns it into a list of candidates for your Prefer plugin. That's the whole job. It takes the HTML, it finds the links, it hands them over. Chef's kiss. πŸŽ€
