ExtUtils::Config(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this page is ExtUtils::Config(3), from User Contributed Perl Documentation — hi bestie 🫶 — and the module is literally ExtUtils::Config: a wrapper for perl's configuration. no cap, that's the whole name situation 💅.

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.010 — that's the version, bestie, write it down ✨.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

my $config = ExtUtils::Config->new();
$config->get('installsitelib');

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ExtUtils::Config is an abstraction around the %Config hash. ngl, by itself it is not a particularly interesting module by any measure 😭 — but it ties together a family of modern toolchain modules, and that's its main character energy 🔥.

✨ METHODS ✨

🌈 new(\%config)

Create a new ExtUtils::Config object. The values in \%config are used to initialize the object. cute, simple, iconic 🎀.

⭐ get($key)

Get the value of $key. If not overridden it will return the value in %Config. iykyk 💅.

🍓 exists($key)

Tests for the existence of $key. lil vibe check for your key, basically 👑.

💜 but(\%keys)

This creates a new ExtUtils::Config object based on the current one, but with the values in %keys replacing the current values. Any undefined value means it will be removed from the overriden set. periodt 🫶.

🧚 values_set()

Get a hashref of all overridden values. all the override lore, in one hashref 🌸.

🎀 all_config()

Get a hashref of the complete configuration, including overrides. the full picture, bestie ✨.

💫 serialize()

This method serializes the object to some kind of string. This can be useful for various caching purposes. it's giving "save it for later" energy 💅.
