CSS::Parse::Lite(3pm)

✨ CSS::Parse::Lite 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to CSS::Parse::Lite — it's a Perl module, it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (that's the (3pm) bit, iykyk), and it's genuinely so iconic for one specific reason: it parses CSS using regular expressions. yes. regex. the whole thing. we love a chaotic queen. 👑

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

CSS::Parse::Lite — a CSS::Parse module that does its thing with regular expressions. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the vibe check, in code form:

use CSS;

# Create a css stylesheet
my $CSS = CSS->new({'parser' => 'CSS::Parse::Lite'});

so you load up CSS, and when you spin up a new stylesheet you just hand it 'parser' => 'CSS::Parse::Lite' in that little hashref and she's off. 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

this module is a parser for CSS.pm. that's literally the whole job. she doesn't do anything else, she doesn't want to do anything else.

if you want the actual details — the lore, the backstory, the full picture — go read the CSS.pm pod. that's where the real tea is. ☕

💀 warning bestie: this is the Lite parser. it's regex-based. don't go expecting the deluxe treatment.
