💅 IO::Uncompress::Base — bestie edition

okay so real talk: this page is from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and the star of the show is IO::Uncompress::Base, aka IO::Unc...s::Base(3pm) if you're squinting at a narrow terminal. she's the base class. the blueprint. the mother of invention 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

IO::Uncompress::Base — literally the Base Class for IO::Uncompress modules. that's her whole job. icon behavior 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use IO::Uncompress::Base ;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. but also… don't actually do this, keep reading 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. this module is not for direct use in application code — like, at all, bestie, do not come for her. her sole purpose is to be sub-classed by IO::Uncompress modules. she's backstage crew, not the main character. she makes everybody else look good and that is iconic in its own way 💜

fr fr do not use this in your app code. she's a parent class, not a plug-and-play situation, iykyk.
