KiokuD...erence(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

KiokuDB::Reference — a symbolic reference to another KiokuDB::Entry, bestie 💖 (this is the KiokuD...erence(3pm) page from your User Contributed Perl Documentation, in case you were wondering where the truncated title went 🎀)

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.57 — yes queen, that's the one 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

my $ref = KiokuDB::Reference->new(
    id => $some_id,
);

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so picture this: this object is an internal marker 🎯 — its whole job is to point at entries by UID. That's it. That's the vibe. Not me being dramatic, it literally just holds a pointer.

Then the linker comes in and does the actual work: it resolves these references by searching the live object set 🔍 and loading entries from the backend as necessary. So the ref is the "hey bestie, remember this one" note, and the linker is the one who actually goes and finds them 🫶

---

🌈 ATTRIBUTES 🌈

• id — the ID this entry refers to 💫
• is_weak — this reference is weak. (lowkey fragile, highkey intentional 🙈)
