💖 DIME::Parser 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — you know, the perl man pages that real humans (allegedly) wrote — and it's about DIME::Parser. Which, and I cannot stress this enough, parses a DIME message. That's the whole vibe. That's the entire personality. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

DIME::Parser — parse a DIME message

no cap, that's literally it, that's the job description, she's booked and busy 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use DIME;
blah blah blah

okay so the synopsis is giving placeholder. blah blah blah. iconic honestly. the author said "I'll fill this in later" and later never came 😭. but here it is, verbatim, exactly as it lives in the file — do not @ me, I'm just the messenger.

🎀 ABSTRACT 🎀

This should be the abstract for DIME.
The abstract is used when making PPD (Perl Package Description) files.
If you don't want an ABSTRACT you should also edit Makefile.PL to
remove the ABSTRACT_FROM option.

so like, this is a note-to-self situation 💀. the abstract is supposed to go here, and abstracts get used when you're building PPD (that's Perl Package Description) files. and if you decide you don't want an ABSTRACT at all? then bestie you also need to go edit Makefile.PL and take out the ABSTRACT_FROM option. two edits, one decision. slay. ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Stub documentation for DIME, and it was created by h2xs. and like… the page itself is snitching on the author here, saying it "looks like the author of the extension was negligent enough to leave the stub unedited." 🫢 not the manpage reading the author for filth!! but okay, we respect the honesty.

Blah blah blah.

yep. that's the description. that's the whole thing. no further lore. 🙈

🌈 EXPORT 🌈

None by default.

like, nothing. zero. nada. you want stuff exported? you're gonna have to ask nicely yourself, because this module is not volunteering anything. 💀

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

okay so this section is where you'd normally be told about other useful documentation — like docs for related modules, or operating system documentation (think man pages on UNIX, you know the drill), or any relevant external documentation like RFCs or standards. 📚

and if you've got a mailing list set up for your module, you'd mention it right here.

and if you've got a web site set up for your module, you'd mention it right here too.

(this is the template talking, bestie. it's giving "fill me in." ✍️)

ngl this whole page is a stub, and the stub is not even pretending otherwise. if you're here hoping for a full API breakdown, the abstract literally says "blah blah blah." that's not me being shady, that's the documentation. 🔥

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 this was DIME::Parser from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, rendered by perl v5.32.1 and dated 2021-03-22 — thank you for coming to my TED talk, mwah, drink some water, read your man pages, ily 🦋💖✨
