CPANPL...::Fake(3pm)

💖 CPANPL...::Fake(3pm) 💖

okay bestie so this is CPANPL...::Fake, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation girlies, and honestly? it's giving backstage pass. it's the fake module object the CPANPLUS internals use when they just need a stand-in and don't wanna do a whole thing about it. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

CPANPLUS::Module::Fake — the fake module object, strictly for internal use 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

my $obj = CPANPLUS::Module::Fake->new(
            module  => 'Foo',
            path    => 'ftp/path/to/foo',
            author  => CPANPLUS::Module::Author::Fake->new,
            package => 'fake-1.1.tgz',
            _id     => $cpan->_id,
        );

look at her. she's fake but she's serving. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this is the class for making fake module objects — little shortcut stand-ins that CPANPLUS uses internally when it doesn't need the real thing. lowkey iconic of her.

she inherits from CPANPLUS::Module. yes, the fake one still has the family name. it's giving nepo baby but make it functional. 💀

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

💜 new( module => $mod, path => $path, package => $pkg, [_id => DIGIT] )

this makes you a dummy module object out of the parameters above. periodt.

it can also take more options — same ones as CPANPLUS::Module->new — but the ones listed up there? those are required, bestie. no skipping. 🙈

so to recap, the required squad is:

• module
• path
• package
• and _id (which shows up in brackets in the signature because it's the optional-looking one, but the description says the above are required — so read the docs, not the vibes 😭)

---

ngl, if you're out here trying to use CPANPLUS::Module::Fake in your own code: it's internal use only. it's not for you. she's booked. 🧚

---

and that's the whole page, bestie — this was CPANPL...::Fake(3pm) as documented in perl v5.40.1, dated 2025-03-01. go forth and fake it till you make it. mwah. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶👑🌈⭐
