✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Z...bleFile(3) is the page you're on, and honestly? The module's full glow-up name is Dist::Zilla::Role::MutableFile — a role for something that can act like a file with changeable contents. bestie, it's giving "file but make it mutable" 💅

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 6.040

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically: this role describes a file whose contents may be modified. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It's a file, but the contents can change. iconic behavior, no cap. 🦋

👑 PERL VERSION 👑

okay so this module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. Which literally means: it should work on 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. math-ing. 🧮✨

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. so like… don't come for her with your ancient perl, she didn't promise you anything 🙈

💜 ATTRIBUTES 💜

🦋 content

💫 encoded_content

ngl bestie, the original page literally does not say anything else about these two. no description, no default, no drama. they're just there, sitting pretty, main character energy with zero lines. 😭
