πŸ’– Class::MOP::Deprecated β€” the manual page bestie πŸ’–

okay so this is Class::...recated(3), straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection. yes the title got squished, no it's not a glitch, it's just Class::MOP::Deprecated being dramatic. sit down, grab a strawberry πŸ“, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

Class::MOP::Deprecated β€” she manages deprecation warnings for Class::MOP. that's the whole job. that's her lane. πŸ’…

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.4000 β€” no cap, that's the number.

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so like, the vibe is you do this:

use Class::MOP::Deprecated -api_version => $version;

and that's literally it. iconic behavior.

πŸ”₯ FUNCTIONS πŸ”₯

This module manages deprecation warnings for features that have been deprecated in Class::MOP. yes, it's a module whose entire personality is "hey bestie, that thing you're using is old". it's giving hall monitor but make it helpful. πŸ‘‘

If you specify -api_version => $version, you can use deprecated features without warnings. no nagging, no side-eye, just peace. πŸ•ŠοΈ

but listen, bestie β€” this special treatment is limited to the package that loads Class::MOP::Deprecated. it does not spread to everyone else. don't be out here thinking the whole codebase is getting the exemption, because it is not. πŸ™ˆ
