💖 CGI::A...ibutes(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for CGI::A...ibutes(3pm) — the one that lives in User Contributed Perl Documentation. it's a little short, it's a little mysterious, but it's iconic and we're gonna read it together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

CGI::Application::Plugin::ActionDispatch::Attributes — Hidden attribute support for CGI::Application 💅

like. attributes. but hidden. the stealth mode of attributes. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe, verbatim, don't touch a character 🔥

  use CGI::Application::Plugin::ActionDispatch::Attributes;

  sub CGI::Application::Protected : ATTR {
        my( $package, $referent, $attr, $data ) = @_;
        ...
  }
  CGI::Application::Plugin::ActionDispatch::Attributes::init();

  sub my_method Protected {
        ...
  }

okay so like, you pull the module in, you define CGI::Application::Protected with the : ATTR attribute, and it gets handed $package, $referent, $attr, and $data — those four, in that order, fr fr 🌸. then you call init() on the full package name (yes, the whole long one, no shortcuts). and then boom, my_method can wear Protected like it's a lil accessory. periodt 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does this actually do? This module will add attribute support into CGI::Application. that's the whole gig. attributes, in your CGI::Application, slay 💖

and also — and this is the part we love — It will also not break mod_perl. not breaking mod_perl is genuinely main character energy, because mod_perl is fragile and dramatic and we respect that about it 🦋

T

okay so that lone T at the end of the DESCRIPTION? that's literally just sitting there in the original. no context, no explanation, just vibes. it's giving typo, it's giving mystery, it's giving iykyk. we're keeping it because every single detail stays, bestie. T. 🎀

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

nothing here. empty. a gorgeous, minimalist void 🌈

like the original genuinely lists no cross-references, so i'm not gonna invent any — that would be lying and lying is not cute 🙈. the SEE ALSO heading exists and that's all it's giving. iconically empty. we move 💀
