    my $ui      = CPANPLUS::Shell->new();
    my $name    = $ui->which;        # Find out what shell you loaded

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕ — this module is the generic loading class and the base class for all CPANPLUS shells. Through this one lil module you can load any installed CPANPLUS shell you want. It's giving universal remote energy 📺✨

But — and this is important, bestie — literally just about all the actual functionality comes from the shell you loaded, not from this class. This class is merely a generic loading class, that's its whole personality 💀. So please, go read the documentation of whichever shell you picked, because that's where the real main character lives 👑. This one's just the doorman.
