Config:...or::Util(3)

💅 Config::Generator::Util(3) — the perl manpage, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and it's about Config::Generator::Util — yes the name is a whole mouthful, the header literally squeezes it down to Config:...or::Util(3) because terminal columns are a scam 😭. Anyway. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

Config::Generator::Util — miscellaneous utilities for Config::Generator. that's it, that's the vibe. it's the little grab-bag of helper stuff that lives next to the main module 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So fr fr: this module provides miscellaneous utilities for Config::Generator. no cap, that's the entire description. it's a support-character module with main character energy 👑

---

🌸 FUNCTIONS 🌸

Here's the thing — this module provides the following functions, and none of them are exported by default. so don't come crying to me when you call format_profile and perl says "who??" — you gotta ask for it, iykyk 🙈

• format_profile(NAME => VALUE, ...) — returns a string representing the given shell profile (i.e. the key/value pairs you handed it). this is useful for creating a configuration file with shell syntax. and here's the cute plot twist: the key can also be # to represent a comment. yes, a whole comment, slay 💅
• list_of(SOMETHING) — returns a list of things, depending on what you gave it: undef, an array reference, or a scalar. it just adapts, okay? very flexible, very iconique. this is very useful with Config::General's list representation 🫶

⭐ CONSTANTS ⭐

This module provides the following constants, and again — none of them are exported by default, so behave accordingly:

• KB
• MB
• GB

and their values are, in the original's own iconic words, "obvious" — so like, you know what they are. no further questions, periodt ✨
