Debian::...l::Patch(3pm)

🎀 Debian::PkgPerl::Patch 🎀

okay bestie, so this is a page from the pkg-perl-tools manual — specifically Debian::PkgPerl::Patch, living in section 3pm (that's the Perl module corner of the manpage universe, iykyk). it's a little Perl helper class and it is, genuinely, so helpful. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Debian::PkgPerl::Patch — she retrieves patch information to be forwarded. that's the whole job. main character energy, honestly 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe check in code form:

use Debian::PkgPerl::Patch;
my $msg = Debian::PkgPerl::Patch->new();
my %info = $msg->retrieve_patch_info();

like... you use her, you new her up, you ask her for the info, and she hands you back a hash. no cap. 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

she's a helper class 🧚 — like, she doesn't do the whole thing herself, she's the bestie who shows up with the receipts. her thing is retrieving information related to the patch that's being forwarded upstream. that's it, that's the assignment, and she ate. ✨
