Config...Control(3pm)

💖 Config::Control(3pm) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, sitting in section 3pm of the manual, and it's all about Config::Model::Backend::Dpkg::Control. yes the name is long. no we're not shortening it. it's iconic like that. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Config::Model::Backend::Dpkg::Control — read and write Debian Dpkg control information 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

No synopsis. bestie there is literally nothing to run here, this class is dedicated to configuration class Dpkg::Control. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this module gets used directly by Config::Model to read or write the content of a Debian control file. that's its whole job, its whole personality, its main character arc. 🌸

and the cute lil detail: all control files keyword are read in a case-insensitive manner. so yeah. Package, package, PACKAGE? the module does not care. it sees them all. lowercase behaviour, uppercase confidence. periodt. ✨

---

✨ CONSTRUCTOR ✨

🎀 new

Parameters: node => $node_obj, name => 'Dpkg::Control'

this one is inherited from Config::Model::Backend::Any — so it's giving certified family-recipe energy, not a from-scratch glow up. 💜

and the constructor will be called by Config::Model::AutoRead. you don't summon it yourself, bestie. it shows up when it's needed, like a good friend with snacks. 🍓

🎀 read

read the control file and return 1. that's it. that's the function. it ate and left no crumbs. 😌

🎀 write

write data to the control file and return 1. symmetrical queen behaviour honestly. ✨

tiny heads up bestie: the original page is Config...Control(3pm) and it's literally just this. no extra lore. don't go looking for more, it's lowkey not there. 💀
