🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe in one go, no cap:

use strict;
use Glib qw(TRUE FALSE);
use Gtk2 -init;
use Gnome2::Vte;

# create things
my $window = Gtk2::Window->new;
my $scrollbar = Gtk2::VScrollbar->new;
my $hbox = Gtk2::HBox->new;
my $terminal = Gnome2::Vte::Terminal->new;

# set up scrolling
$scrollbar->set_adjustment ($terminal->get_adjustment);

# lay 'em out
$window->add ($hbox);
$hbox->pack_start ($terminal, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
$hbox->pack_start ($scrollbar, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
$window->show_all;

# hook 'em up
$terminal->fork_command ('/bin/bash', ['bash', '-login'], undef,
                         '/tmp', FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);
$terminal->signal_connect (child_exited => sub { Gtk2->main_quit });
$window->signal_connect (delete_event =>
                         sub { Gtk2->main_quit; FALSE });

# turn 'em loose
Gtk2->main;

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE 😭

This module has been deprecated by the Gtk-Perl project. translating that: the module will no longer be updated with security patches, bug fixes, or when changes are made in the Perl ABI. the Git repo for this module has been archived (made read-only), and it will no longer be possible to submit new commits to it. you are more than welcome to ask about this module on the Gtk-Perl mailing list, but our priorities going forward will be maintaining Gtk-Perl modules that are supported and maintained upstream — and this module is neither. 💀

Since this module is licensed under the LGPL v2.1, you may also fork this module if you wish, but (important!!) you will need to use a different name for it on CPAN, and the Gtk-Perl team requests that you use your own resources (mailing list, Git repos, bug trackers, etc.) to maintain your fork going forward. your fork, your group chat, bestie. 🫶
