✨ METHODS ✨

🎀 new

Creates a brand new ExtUtils::XSpp::Node::Destructor. new node, who dis 💅

Most of the functionality of this class is inherited, which is honestly iconic of it. What that means for you: every single named parameter that works for ExtUtils::XSpp::Node::Method — and for its base class too — is also valid here for this class' destructor. so you're not starting from scratch, bestie, you're getting the whole family tree's options. 🫶

Additionally, this class requires that no return type has been specified, because destructors do not have return types. periodt. don't try to give it one, it's not that kind of method 😭

🦋 perl_function_name

Returns the name of the class with ::DESTROY appended. that's it. that's the whole vibe. class name + ::DESTROY = what you get back. slay. ✨
