πŸŽ€ App::CLI::Command::Version πŸŽ€

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Perl manual β€” the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, to be exact β€” and it's all about App::CLI::Command::Version. pull up a chair, we're learning πŸ’–


✨ NAME ✨

App::CLI::Command::Version β€” it prints out a version string that's already been preformatted for you. no assembly required, it's giving plug-and-play πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe in code form, literally copy-paste this into your soul:

    package MyApp;
    use base qw(App::CLI App::CLI::Command);

    use constant alias => (
        '--version' => '+App::CLI::Command::Version',
          'version' => '+App::CLI::Command::Version',
        # Other aliases
    );

    # Your app now supports a default version command and option

like… you just set it up and your app suddenly has a version command and a version option?? the way that just happens is so iconic honestly ✨


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so this package ships a default "version" command for you, and it's modelled after the one over in App::Cmd β€” you know, keeping the family resemblance 🫢

and here's the cute part: you're not stuck with whatever message it gives you. if you wanna change the default message, you've got options, bestie:

  • subclass this command and override its "run" method πŸ’…
  • or modify it with, like, Class::Method::Modifiers or whatever your fave method-mangling tool is
no cap, those are the two routes the docs give you β€” pick your fighter πŸ₯Š

and that's the whole page! 🌈 this lil beauty came from perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25, living under the name App::CL...Version(3) β€” mwah, tysm for reading, go forth and print versions πŸ’œπŸŽ€πŸ¦‹
