💜 Catalyst::Base 💜

ok so real talk bestie, you're looking at the Catalyst::Base page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and the vibes are... complicated. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Catalyst::Base — Deprecated base class 💀

like. it literally says deprecated in the name section. we're off to a rough start but we're being honest about it and honestly? that's growth.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so storytime 📖: Catalyst::Base used to be the base class for Catalyst Controllers. like, back in the day, that was the move, that was the vibe, that was the whole entire blueprint. 💅

but now? it's still hanging around — purely for compatibility reasons — because breaking everybody's old code would be mean and we're not mean, we're just tired. 😭 however. and I need you to hear me on this one bestie. its use is highly deprecated. not just "deprecated", not "deprecated-ish", not "deprecated but it's fine". highly deprecated. it's giving ✨ do not ✨.

⚠️ if your application is producing a warning, that is the universe (and the compiler) tapping you on the shoulder like "ma'am." please update your application so it inherits from Catalyst::Controller instead. do it for me. do it for yourself. do it for the group chat. 🫶

and that's genuinely it. no flags, no options, no exit statuses, no environment variables. it's just a little ghost of a module standing in the corner being polite about the fact that nobody should be using it anymore. 👻

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

  • Catalyst — the whole entire framework, the main character, the reason we're all here 🎀
  • Catalyst::Controller — ✨ the one you should actually inherit from ✨ this is your sign. this is it. go here. 🌈
