💖 Location(3) 💖

okay bestie, gather round — this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's a short one, so we're gonna get through it together and then go get boba. 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

Location — it's giving "a simple interface to libloc". That's it, that's the whole name section, she's concise and she knows it. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Like, the entire usage is one line. One. Iconic behavior honestly:

use Location;

That's it. That's the whole flex. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So Location is a simple interface to libloc — and in case you're wondering what that even is, libloc is A library to determine someones location on the Internet. 🌍📍

If you wanna go read the source yourself (and honestly? valid), the repo lives here:

https://git.ipfire.org/?p=location/libloc.git;a=summary

💜 EXPORT 💜

None by default.

Not one thing. Zero. Nada. She exports nothing unless you ask, and that's just healthy boundaries, we love that for her. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Go look at the actual library, bestie, it's right here:
