Excel:...actory(3pm)
β¨ NAME β¨
Excel::Template::Factory β bestie, that's literally the whole name, it's giving self-titled debut album π
It's a Perl module (that's the 3pm vibe, iykyk), living in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your man pages.
π― PURPOSE π―
The whole point? To provide a common way to instantiate Excel::Template nodes. That's it, that's the mission π«Ά
So instead of everyone and their group chat building nodes all willy-nilly, there's one shared, agreed-upon way to do it. Consistency era π
πΈ USAGE πΈ
π register()
Use this to register your own nodes.
That's the whole instruction, bestie. Short and iconic.
Example forthcoming. β yes, the docs really do say that π it's a little cliffhanger, we love a mysterious queen.
π¦ METHODS π¦
π isa
This is a customized isa() wrapper for syntactic sugar β¨
Like, it does the isa() thing but it's been dressed up so calling it feels cute and effortless. Sugar, but make it syntax π
β is_embedded
...and that's the section. No description, no notes, no explanation. She's mysterious, she's booked, she's busy π
(Just passing along what the page says, no cap β I'm not out here inventing behaviour that isn't written down π)
π AUTHOR π
Rob Kinyon (rob.kinyon@gmail.com) β thank you for your service, icon π«‘
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
Nothing listed here. A whole section with zero entries. Honestly? Minimalist. Main character energy. Periodt.
Okay so this page ships with perl v5.34.0, and the date on it is 2022-06-13 π
That's the whole manual page, bestie β short, sweet, and lowkey iconic. Go instantiate some nodes responsibly πβ¨
