💖 NAME 💖

hi bestie, welcome to the page 💅 this one's filed under Dist::Z...Provider(3) in the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, and the actual module living inside it is:

Dist::Zilla::Role::EncodingProvider — something that sets a file's encoding. that's the whole brief, and she ate. ✨

🦋 VERSION 🦋

version 6.040 — official, numbered, real. no cap. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea: EncodingProvider plugins are the little guys that do their work at a VERY specific moment in the timeline. Not too early, not too late. After files are gathered, but before they're munged. 🫶

and what's the assignment when they show up? they're meant to set the "encoding" on files. that's it. that's the job. main character energy only.

The method set_file_encodings is the one that gets called — and it gets called with no arguments. zero. none. she walks in empty-handed and gets straight to work, periodt. 💅

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

okay this part is actually useful so lock in:

This module should work on any version of perl that's still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. Which, translated, means any version of perl released in the last two to three years. Like — if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. love that for us. 💖

okay but listen — although it may work on older versions of perl, there is no guarantee that the minimum required version won't 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. so don't come for her, she said what she said. 😭
