💖 Devel::TypeTiny::Perl56Compat(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a Perl manual page — section 3pm, user contributed docs — and its whole name is Devel::TypeTiny::Perl56Compat. and what it does?? shims, babes. shims that let Type::Tiny run on Perl 5.6.x 🦋

🌸 STATUS 🌸

so like. this module is part of Type-Tiny's internals. it is NOT covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy. so don't come for it when it changes, okay? it's a backstage module. crew only. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

first things first: this is not considered part of Type::Tiny's public API. it's giving "private, do not perceive me" energy. 🙈

currently it has exactly one (1) job, and honestly? she's slaying it:

  • it patches B so that B exports a perlstring function 🌈

because — plot twist — perlstring was only added in Perl 5.8.0. so if you're out here on 5.6.x, this module is the bestie who shows up with the thing you need. no cap. 💖

🎀 BUGS 🎀

translation: no promises, no take-backs, it's giving "you're on your own, babe" 😭

anyway that's the whole page!! this one came out of perl v5.32.1, dated 2021-08-31, and it lives under that Devel::TypeTiny::Perl56Compat(3pm) name — so if you're keeping score, that's the manual, that's the version, that's the date. mwah. 💖✨
