🌸 CPAN::C...::Group(3) — like, the group entry thing 💅

okay so real quick, the top of this page literally reads CPAN::C...::Group(3) and it comes to us courtesy of the User Contributed Perl Documentation (periodt, that's where it lives). The whole name is CPAN::Changes::Group but the header's out here doing a little truncation moment, iykyk ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

CPAN::Changes::Group — an entry group in a CPAN Changes file. That's the whole vibe. It's a group. For entries. In a Changes file. Slay. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here's the literal code, don't touch it, just vibe with it:

  my $group = CPAN::Changes::Group->new(
    name    => 'A change group',
    changes => [
      'A change entry',
      'Another change entry',
    ],
  );

look at her go 😭 she's got a name and a whole list of changes, iconic behaviour honestly.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this thing represents a group of change entries on a changelog release. Cute, right? 🎀

⚠️ but bestie… heads up: this is a legacy interface, and its use is discouraged. not me warning you, that's literally what the page says. (also ngl the source sentence reads a little truncated — "a legacy interface for the and its use is discouraged" — so I'm not gonna pretend to know what word got dropped there. no cap, I'm not inventing it. 🙈)

Behind the scenes tho? It works as a proxy for the real CPAN::Changes::Entry objects. Like a middleman. A lil representative. 🫶

👑 ATTRIBUTES 👑

💜 name

The name of the change group. That's it, that's the attribute. main character energy fr.

🌈 METHODS 🌈

okay so the page lists these and — being so for real right now — it gives zero descriptions for any of them. so I'm handing you the names, exactly as they appear, no made-up explanations, no guessing at behaviour, periodt. 💅
