Carmel::Setup(3)

💖 Carmel::Setup(3) — the vibe

okay so bestie, welcome to Carmel::Setup, a lil Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual. she's a 3 (that's library-call manual, for the uninitiated 🫶). her whole thing? she lets you set up the Carmel environment from inside your perl app.

✨ NAME ✨

Carmel::Setup — configures the Carmel environment within a perl application 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

# in your perl application code, before using any modules
use Carmel::Setup;
use Plack;

and that's it, that's the whole ritual 🎀 just slap it in before you use literally anything else and you're golden.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ Carmel::Setup lets you configure the Carmel environment right inside your perl code. so you don't have to call carmel exec just to run your program. no cap. it's giving independence, it's giving main character energy 👑

💀 Difference with carmel exec

now THIS is the part you need to know, bestie, because it's lowkey a whole personality difference:

carmel exec adds -MCarmel::Setup to PERL5OPT. and what does that mean? it means every perl program — including third-party commands your program spawns off (via system, etc.) — will also be using the Carmel environment. all of them. every single one. no survivors 😭

which may or may not be what you want!! it's a whole vibe check situation.

so instead, calling Carmel::Setup manually in your own code gives you the choice of bypassing carmel exec. your program, your rules, your environment. slay ✨
