Dist::Z...InMemory(3)

💖 Dist::Zilla::File::InMemory 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Dist::Zilla::File::InMemory, aka Dist::Z...InMemory(3) if you're squinting at your terminal and it's doing that truncation thing. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's talk about it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::File::InMemory — a file that you build entirely in memory 🧠✨

like. it's a file. but it's not on disk. it lives in your RAM and in your heart. no cap.

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 6.040

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this lil guy represents a file created in memory — and honestly? it's not much more than a glorified string. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "string wearing a trench coat and calling itself a file." 😭

if you want the full details, the real tea is over at Dist::Zilla::Role::MutableFile — go read that, iykyk.

🌈 PERL VERSION 🌈

the way this module is so forgiving... it should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. which basically means: any perl released in the last two to three years. (concretely: if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.) 👑

and yes, it might work on older perl versions too — but no guarantee is made that the minimum required version won't be raised. the version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower that minimum. so like, don't count on it. periodt. 💀

⚠️ heads up: "it might work on old perl" is not the same as "we support old perl." the bar can move whenever. plan accordingly, babe.
