Dist::Z...::OnDisk(3)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Dist::Zilla::File::OnDisk β€” a file that comes from your filesystem, bestie 🫢


✨ VERSION ✨

version 6.040 πŸ’…


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: it's a file, right? But it's a file that lives on your actual disk. That's the whole vibe. πŸ¦‹

Its content attribute gets read from the originally given file name the very first time anyone reads it β€” like, first read, that's the moment, main character energy πŸ‘‘ β€” but after that? It just chills in memory. Kept there. And plugins are absolutely allowed to mess with it, no cap. πŸ”₯


🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. Which means, fr fr, it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. πŸ’€

So like: if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. Simple as that.

Okay but lowkey listen 😭 β€” although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. That's just how it is, bestie. Periodt.
