✨ NAME ✨

List::SomeUtils::XS — the XS implementation for List::SomeUtils, bestie 💖

This is the manual page for it, so like… welcome to the backstage area 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.59

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so first things first: there are no user-facing parts here. Like, none. Zero. If you came looking for the actual functions and the API tea, you want to go read List::SomeUtils instead — that's where all the details live, fr fr.

You shouldn't have to install this module directly. The way it actually works is iconic honestly: when you install List::SomeUtils, it checks whether your system has a compiler. If it does, then it adds a dependency on this module so that it gets installed and you have the faster XS implementation. Slay. Automatic. You didn't even have to ask 👑

So real talk though, here's the little catch, and it's giving circular-dependency drama: this distribution requires List::SomeUtils, but to avoid a circular dependency, that dependency is explicitly left out from this distribution's metadata. Which sounds chill until you remember — without LSU already installed, this module cannot function. Periodt. So don't go trying to bootstrap it all by yourself, okay? 😭

💜 DONATIONS 💜

Okay this part is so sweet actually 🥺 If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free time creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd care to offer.

And like — please note that I am not suggesting that you must do this in order for me to continue working on this particular software. I will continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me. No pressure, no cap 💅

Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can consider working on free software full time (let's all have a chuckle at that together 😭). We're all laughing, it's fine, it's a vibe.

To donate, log into PayPal and send money to autarch@urth.org, or use the button at:
