AnyEve...e::Old(3pm)

💖 AnyEvent::FTP::Server::Role::Old — the perl manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and the module itself is AnyEvent::FTP::Server::Role::Old(3pm). she's giving role for old archaic FTP server commands ✨ take a seat, we're going back in time 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

AnyEvent::FTP::Server::Role::Old — Role for old archaic FTP server commands 💅

the vibes are immaculate and the commands are useless, but we love her anyway 🎀

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.20 ⭐

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

First things first, bestie: you gotta create a context. like this 👇

package AnyEvent::FTP::Server::Context::MyContext;

use Moo;

extends 'AnyEvent::FTP::Server::Context';
with 'AnyEvent::FTP::Server::Role::Old';

1;

Then you can go use those archaic FTP commands, no cap. and when I say archaic I mean it — look at this whole session, I'm obsessed 😭

% telnet localhost 39835

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically this role hands you a whole lil collection of FTP commands that honestly don't really do anything anymore, but some older clients might still try to use them anyway 🙈 (they're doing their best, ok??)

and here's the actual advice: if you're writing a context, it's probably a good idea to just consume this role rather than implementing these useless commands yourself. like, why would you hand-craft useless commands when the queen already did it for you 💅 periodt.

👑 ATTRIBUTES 👑

syst

The string returned by the SYST command. bestie, this is often "UNIX Type: L8" — even if the server isn't actually running on UNIX 😭 she's lying about her whole identity and honestly? respect.

That is also the default. so you get that lie for free 🌈

---

🔥 COMMANDS 🔥

here's the roster, the whole squad, the main characters:

• ALLO
• NOOP
• SYST

that's it. those three. slay 💖
