App::S...nd::log(3pm)

✨ App::Sqitch::Command::log 💖 (that's App::S...nd::log(3pm) bestie, the Perl doc grep couldn't fit the whole name in the header, she's mysterious like that 🎀)

okay so this is the manual for App::Sqitch::Command::log — the little Perl module that's out here doing the heavy lifting behind the log command. she's got ✨ events ✨ and she's not afraid to show them.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

App::Sqitch::Command::log — bestie, she shows you a database event log. that's it. that's the whole job. and she slays at it 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

my $cmd = App::Sqitch::Command::log->new(%params);
$cmd->execute;

okay bye ily, this was perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-07-26, and it lives at App::S...nd::log(3pm) — that last one is where the manual page name got truncated in the header, not a typo on my part, i promise 🙈✨ stay slaying, and go read sqitch-log if you actually wanted to use this thing 💅🦋
