ExtUti...ializer(3pm)

💅 NAME 💅

ExtUtils::Builder::Serializer — the Perl manpage for this one is literally just the module name, no tagline, no nothing. Iconic minimalism fr.

This page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (3pm), and the manual name you'd type into man is ExtUti...ializer(3pm) — yes it's truncated with ... because terminals have no chill. 🫶
