Apache...Report(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Apache::TestReport — bestie, this is the parent class for generating bug reports and success reports 🐛✅

(Also, hi, the page header calls it Apache...Report(3pm) and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section — just so you know what you're looking at, queen.)

---

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

use Apache::TestReport;
Apache::TestReport->new(@ARGV)->run;

That's the whole vibe. Those two lines, and you're off. 💅

---

💖 Description 💖

This class is what you reach for when you wanna generate a bug report or a success report — and the whole point of it is that it hands over the deets about the system the code was running on. Like, "here's what happened, and here's the machine it happened on." It's giving receipts. 🔥

🧚 Overridable Methods 🧚

config

Return the information about the user's system. That's it, that's the job — just the system info, bestie. 🖥️✨

report_to

Return a string containing the email address that the report should be sent to. 📧 No cap, just return the string.

postit_note

Return a string to close the report with — the little sign-off note at the end. For example, and I quote:

my($to, $where) = split '@', $self->report_to;
return <<EOF;
Note: Complete the rest of the details and post this bug report to
$to <at> $where. To subscribe to the list send an empty
email to $to-subscribe\@$where.

See how it splits report_to on the @ so it can say $to <at> $where? Iconic behaviour, honestly. 🎀 And don't forget the $to-subscribe\@$where line — that's how people subscribe to the list, by sending an empty email there. 👑

---

Lowkey the whole design here is: subclass it, override config, report_to and postit_note, and let run do the rest. Main character energy for a base class, fr fr. 🫶
