Config...pAsText(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie gather round — this is Config::Model::Role::HelpAsText (yes the manual page shortens it to Config...pAsText, it's giving mystery ✨), and it is literally all about translating element help from pod to text. she's a role, she's a translator, she's iconic 💅

---

💖 VERSION 💖

version 2.166 — that's the one, no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

$self->get_help_as_text( ... );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one method call and you're done 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, this is a role — and what she does is transform your Config::Model help text or description from pod into plain text. so like, pod goes in, text comes out, slay 💅

you want to reach for the method she gives you whenever that help text is gonna get displayed on STDOUT. that's the moment. that's her moment ✨

and now the tea on why she's a role and not just some function you call: the interface to Pod::Text is, and I quote, not so easy. so instead of you fighting with it, she handles it. main character energy fr fr 👑
