πŸ’– Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch β€” the tea β˜•

okay so bestie, welcome to the Fetch plugin family of Alien::Build. This page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your friendly neighbourhood perl man pages (the manual name is Alien::...n::Fetch(3) in case you were wondering why the header looks like it got cut off mid-sentence, it literally did 🫢).

VERSION: version 2.88 ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use alienfile;
share {
  start_url 'http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make';
  plugin 'Download';
};

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, Fetch plugins do one thing: they retrieve a single resource from the internet. That's the whole vibe. πŸ’…

The way you tell a Fetch plugin apart from a Download plugin is this β€” a Download plugin might go grab several resources off the internet (usually by using a Fetch plugin under the hood, no cap) before it finally finds the archive it actually wants. Fetch is the one-resource girlie; Download is the whole shopping trip. πŸ›οΈ

And here's the thing: normally you do not need to use Fetch plugins directly, bestie. Fr fr. Instead you should use the Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate plugin, which will pick the best plugins for whatever URL you handed it. Let it do the matchmaking. It's giving personal assistant energy. ✨

  • Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::CurlCommand β€” fetch using the curl command. πŸŒ€
  • Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::HTTPTiny β€” fetch using HTTP::Tiny. 🐣
  • Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::LWP β€” fetch using LWP::UserAgent. 🌐
