💖 CSAF::Options::Writer — the configurator bestie 💖

okay so picture this: you're out here writing CSAF documents and you need to tell the writer how to behave, and that's literally this module. It lives in the CSAF::...:Writer(3pm) corner of your Perl docs — the user-contributed perl documentation zone, iykyk ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

CSAF::Options::Writer — the CSAF::Writer configurator, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use CSAF::Options::Writer;
my $options = CSAF::Options::Writer->new( );

$options->configure(
    create_sha256_integrity => 0,
    create_gpg_signature    => 1,
    update_index            => 1,
    update_changes          => 1
);

if (my $passphrase = get_passphrase_from_stdin) {
    $options->gpg_passphrase($passphrase);
}

like... you make the object, you configure it, and if you've got a passphrase coming in from stdin you hand it over too. periodt 💅
