ExtUti...r::Util(3pm)

💅 ExtUtils::Builder::Util

Okay bestie, so this page is from the ExtUtils::Builder::Util section of the User Contributed Perl Documentation — that's the manual name, consider it folded in and slayed ✨. It's Perl, it's utility functions, it's giving "little helpers that do the most."

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 0.020 — that's the one, that's the version, no cap 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically this is a module that's just a whole little bag of helper functions for ExtUtils::Builder. That's it, that's the vibe. A grab-bag of besties-in-code-form that do small useful things so you don't have to 💖

✨ FUNCTIONS ✨

🎀 function(%arguments)

This one is literally just a shorthand for calling ExtUtils::Builder::Action::Function's constructor. Same thing, fewer words, main character energy 👑

🎀 command(%arguments)

Another shorthand bestie — this time it's shorthand for calling ExtUtils::Builder::Action::Code's constructor. Yes, command maps to Action::Code, that's just how it is, don't @ me, the source said it 🫶

🎀 code(@command)

Shorthand for calling ExtUtils::Builder::Action::Code's constructor, except here @command gets passed in as its command argument. Iconic little shortcut, truly 🦋

🎀 glob_to_regex($glob)

This one translates a unix glob expression (like *.txt) into a regex. Glob goes in, regex comes out, everybody claps 🌈

🎀 unix_to_native_path($path)

Converts a unix path into a native path. Path glow-up, platform edition 💅

🎀 native_to_unix_path($path)

The reverse, obvi — converts a native path to a unix path. We love a two-way street 🎀

🎀 get_perl(%options)

This one takes a hash with various (optional) keys:

• config — an ExtUtils::Config (compatible) object. That's the key, that's the whole list, it's optional, we move 🌸

🎀 require_module($module)

Dynamically requires a module. That's the entire sentence, she's short and she knows it ✨

🎀 split_like_shell($string)

Splits a string the same way the local platform does. Your platform's rules, your platform's split, very "be yourself" of it 💜
