ExtUti...ommand(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

ExtUtils::Builder::Action::Command — an action object for external commands. This is a 3pm page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and bestie, it's giving “tiny but powerful” ✨

💖 VERSION 💖

version 0.020 — that's the version, no cap 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

my @cmd = qw/echo Hello World!/;
my $action = ExtUtils::Builder::Action::Command->new(command => \@cmd);
$action->execute;
say "Executed: ", join ' ', @{$_} for $action->to_command;

That's the synopsis, periodt. Keep it exactly as written, especially that last line — do not “fix” it, bestie 😭💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is a primitive action object wrapping an external command. The easiest way to use it is to serialize it to command, though it doesn't mind being executed right away. For more information on actions, see ExtUtils::Builder::Action.

🦋 ATTRIBUTES 🦋

🧵 command

This is the command that should be run, represented as an array ref. That's the whole attribute, slay 🫶
