DhMakePerl(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

DhMakePerl — bestie, this thing goes and makes you a whole Debian source package out of a CPAN dist 💖

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

Version 0.90 ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, this is literally all you gotta do:

use DhMakePerl;

DhMakePerl->run;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 ACCESSORS 🌸

• apt_contents — this one's holding onto the cached copy of Debian::AptContents for you. she remembers things so you don't have to 🫶
• cfg — this is where the configuration lives, and it's an instance of DhMakePerl::Config. the brain cell of the operation, no cap ✨

---

👑 CLASS METHODS 👑

💜 run( %init )

okay so this one runs DhMakePerl. main character energy fr.

Unless your %init already has a cfg member in it, she'll construct an instance of DhMakePerl::Config and assign it straight into $init{cfg}. problem solved, bestie 💅

Then she figures out which dh-make-perl command you actually asked for (she peeks at cfg->command for that), loads up the matching DhMakePerl::Command::$command class, constructs an instance of it, and calls its execute method. slay ✨

⭐ get_apt_contents

Returns a (possibly cached 👀) instance of Debian::AptContents. it's giving efficiency, it's giving ✨not doing the work twice✨
