Filter...eBytes(3pm)

💖 Filter::Template::UseBytes(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Filter::Template::UseBytes — it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the perl world, and it's literally the tiniest little helper you ever did see. it's giving "conditionally use bytes.pm depending on availability" ✨

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.043

yeah. 1.043. short and sweet, just like her 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ok so here's the whole vibe in one code block, look at her go:

use Filter::Template ( isa => "Filter::Template::UseBytes" );

print "Phi length in characters: ", length(chr(0x618)), "\n";
{% use_bytes %}
print "Phi length in bytes: ", length(chr(0x618)), "\n";

like… the way that {% use_bytes %} just slides in there and changes everything downstream? main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ the UseBytes template evaluates to use bytes; if Perl 5.005_55 or later is running.

and if it's not? it evaluates to an empty string. which does absolutely nothing 🫥 but — and this is the important part, bestie — it also doesn't throw an exception. no drama, no crash, just a graceful little nothing. we love a low-maintenance template 💅

---

😭 BUGS 😭

ngl, this is the part where I hold your hand:

All the caveats of Filter::Template apply here.

that's it. that's the whole section. every single caveat from the parent module? yeah, all of them, over here too 🙈 so go read Filter::Template and take those caveats seriously, periodt.
