✨ NAME ✨

CPANPLUS::Module::Checksums — bestie, it's literally just here to check the checksum of a distribution 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

$file   = $modobj->checksums;
$bool   = $mobobj->_validate_checksum;

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this is a class that gives you functions for checking the checksum of a distribution. that's the whole vibe. very "trust but verify" of it 💖

but listen — do NOT load this one directly, okay?? 🙈 it's not a main character that shows up alone. you use it through the interface that CPANPLUS::Module hands you. that's the way. periodt.

💜 METHODS 💜

🌸 $mod->checksums

grabs the checksums file for this module object. it's giving "fetch me my receipts" 🧾✨

for the options it can take, go peek at CPANPLUS::Module::fetch() — that's where the deets live, i'm not making stuff up, fr fr.

returns the location of the checksums file on success, and false on error 😭 (yes, we hate errors too).

alsooo, the location of the checksums file is stored right here too, bestie:

$mod->status->checksums

like, it's not just returned — it's saved. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

lowkey reminder: this whole page is about checking checksums, and you reach it through CPANPLUS::Module. don't try to use it solo, she doesn't do solo performances 🎤
