File::S...gettext(3)

🌸 File::S...gettext(3) — bestie, we need to talk 💅

okay so real talk, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual set, and it is short. Like, suspiciously short. Not me opening a whole manpage just to get a vibe check and a bug number 😭 but here we are, and i'm gonna tell you every single thing it says because that's the whole entire thing. no cap.

✨ DEPRECATION PLAN ✨

the situation is, and i quote the energy here, unclear 🙈 that's it. that's the plan-level clarity we're working with. the docs literally open with "Situation unclear." and honestly? iconic. main character energy of a manpage that simply refuses to over-explain itself.

so here's the lore, bestie, fr fr:

• even though #792687 is closed, there are a whole bunch of Gettext-related files out here getting normalised, based on — and this is the important part — anecdotal viewings of build logs. yes. anecdotal. viewings. of build logs. so it's giving detective work but make it vibes-based 🕵️‍♀️👑

⚠️ the takeaway lowkey matters: nothing here is settled, and the normalisation is happening on anecdotal evidence, not on anything in this page. don't go reading this and assuming a definite outcome — the page genuinely just says the situation is unclear 💀

and because the original is a stub, that's genuinely all the content there is. no options, no arguments, no flags. just a deprecation plan with commitment issues 🫶

so yeah, that's the page 🎀 tiny but honest. she said what she said and then she left.
