Authen...incipal(3pm)

💖 Authen::Krb5::Principal 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Authen::Krb5::Principal — it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's literally the manual for the Kerberos 5 princpal object. yes, "princpal". that's not me, that's the original. typo is canon, we respect it 🫶

this one's a shortie, but she's an icon. no flags, no synopsis drama, just vibes and three methods. let's go ✨

---

✨ VERSION ✨

we're on version 1.906. that's the one, that's the girl 💅

---

✨ METHODS ✨

three methods, three little besties, all of them here to hand you info about your principal. no cap.

🌸 realm()

returns the realm of the principal. that's it, that's the whole job. queen of doing one thing well 👑

🌸 type()

returns the type of the principal. tell me your type without telling me your type, iykyk 🦋

🌸 data()

returns a list containing the components of the principal — and by "components" we mean everything before the realm. so like, realm stays out of it. she's on her own little list somewhere else 💀

ok so like, data() gives you a list, not a scalar. don't @ me, that's just what the page says 🌈
