💅 Gtk2::Pango::Cairo — bestie, it's giving "legacy wrapper" ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and honestly? It's a short one. A lil snack. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::Pango::Cairo — it's a backwards compatibility wrapper for Pango::Cairo. That's the whole vibe. It's the friend who still shows up to the group chat but only to say "yeah I'm still here, go talk to the other one" 😭

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea, bestie 🍓

As of Gtk2 1.220, the pango bindings are provided by the standalone Pango module. That's it. That's the whole plot twist. Pango moved out, got its own place, and is thriving 💖

This namespace — Gtk2::Pango::Cairo — is provided for backwards compatibility. It's literally just standing there holding the door open for old code that hasn't updated its address book yet. Iconic, honestly. Not a single new feature. Just ✨ loyalty ✨.

And the actual documentation? The relevant docs moved to Pango, and there's a link to them below in SEE ALSO. So if you came here looking for the real content, no shade, but you're in the wrong room — follow the link, it's right there 🧚

ngl if you're writing brand new code in 2025 and you're importing this namespace, we need to talk. But also, no judgment, we've all inherited a codebase 🙈
