🦋 NAME 🦋

Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Tie — bestie, this is the module that lets you use tied hashes as lexicons for Maketext. That's literally it. That's the whole vibe. 💅

(It lives in the Perl world under User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the pretty truncated header up top is just Locale:...on::Tie(3) being shy about its full name. 🙈)

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.00 — officially iconic, officially shipped. 🎀

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

Okay so here's the whole setup, copied exactly, don't @ me:

package Hello::I18N;
use base 'Locale::Maketext';
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
    en => [ Tie => [ DB_File => 'en.db' ] ],
};

Slay. That's your en lexicon wired straight into DB_File with the file en.db. No cap. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the tea: this module lets you easily "tie" the %Lexicon hash to a database or any other data source. That's the flex. 🔥

The way it works is it takes an array reference of arguments, and passes them directly to tie(). Like, straight through, no middleman, no editorializing. 🫶

Entries will then be fetched whenever it is used — yes, whenever, every single time — because this module does not cache them. Lowkey important, highkey the whole point. So like, if your data source is slow, that's between you and your data source, bestie. 💀
