πŸŽ€ Fedora::VSP β€” the Perl manual page, but make it a group chat πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, this is Fedora::VSP(3), a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's literally about making Perl version strings behave for RPM. Let me tell you everything πŸ’…

✨ NAME ✨

Fedora::VSP β€” Perl version normalization for RPM. that's it, that's the whole vibe πŸ¦‹

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this module hands you functions for normalizing Perl version strings for Red Hat Package (RPM) based Linux distributions. slay.

here's the tea: RPM's version format and semantics is similar to Perl version strings (vX.Y.Z). but to exactly? no bestie. the older Perl fraction version format (X.YZ) is incompatible with RPM 😭

so this whole thing is an effort to map Perl version strings to RPM version strings. that's the mission. that's the main character energy. πŸ‘‘

πŸ”₯ FUNCTIONS πŸ”₯

⭐ vsp(STRING, SHORT)

Convert a version value into version string format. the output value is stripped from the leading v symbol. bye v, we don't know her πŸ™ˆ

if conversion fails, undef will be returned. no cap.

empty or undefined string will be normalized to undef. literally nothing in, nothing out 🫢

if SHORT is true, the returned version string will be shortened by cutting trailing zero groups. and listen β€” if no digit would remain, undef will be returned. πŸ’€ this feature ephases brevity. it's giving minimalism, it's giving less-is-more, it's giving SHORT mode ✨
