✨ AnyEvent::FTP::Response — bestie edition 💅

okay so you're in AnyEvent::FTP::Response, which is a Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation fam, and it's basically the little glow-up wrapper for a single FTP server response. 🦋

VERSION — version 0.20. slay. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

AnyEvent::FTP::Response — it's the response class for the asynchronous ftp client. periodt. 💖

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So, like, instances of this class? They represent a FTP server response. that's it, that's the whole vibe. every time the server says something back to you, it gets wrapped up in one of these lil guys. 👑

---

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

🌟 code

my $code = $client->code;

It's the integer code for the message. and bestie, these codes have categories, here's the tea:

• 1xx Positive preliminary reply
• 2xx Positive completion reply
• 3xx Positive intermediate reply
• 4xx Transient negative reply
• 5xx Permanent negative reply

So generally 4xx and 5xx messages are errors 😭 (big yikes energy), whereas 1xx and 3xx are various states of — at least so far — successful operations. and 2xx? that one indicates a completely successful operation. ate. 🔥

🌟 message

my $message = $res->message;

The human readable message returned from the server. and this is always a list reference, even if the server only returned one line. one line, forty lines, doesn't matter, it's a list ref, no cap. 💅

---

💜 METHODS 💜

⭐ is_success

my $bool = $res->is_success;

True if the response does not represent an error condition. that means codes 1xx, 2xx or 3xx. green flags only bestie 💚✨

⭐ is_preliminary

my $bool = $res->is_preliminary;

True if the response is a preliminary positive reply — that's code 1xx. it's giving "we're so back". 🙈

⭐ as_string

my $str = $res->as_string;
my $str = "$res";

Returns a string representation of the response. heads up though: this may not be exactly what was returned by the server, but it will include the code and at least part of the message in a human readable format. so like, the vibe of the message, translated for humans. 🫶

You can also get this string by treating objects of this class as a string — using it in a double quoted string, or by using string operators:

print "$res";

is the same as

print $res->as_string;

literally identical, iykyk. 🌈
