🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, so like — this is Mail::MtPolicyd::Plugin, a base class for plugins 💅 it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and the manual name on the page is Mail::...:Plugin(3pm) (iykyk, the title gets truncated in the header, it's giving mysterious). It's the lil parent class that other MtPolicyd plugins inherit from. Very main character, very foundational. 👑

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.05 🎀

💖 ATTRIBUTES 💖

  • name — holds a string, and that string is the name of this plugin, exactly as you typed it in the configuration. no cap. 📝
  • log_level (default: 4) — this is the log_level that gets used whenever the plugin calls $self->log( $r, $msg ). so like, it decides how chatty your plugin is when it's journaling its lil feelings. 🗒️✨

🦋 METHODS 🦋

run( $r )

this one HAS to be implemented by the plugin that inherits from this base class. like, it's not optional, bestie — the base class is just vibes, run is where the actual work happens. 🫶

log( $r, $msg )

the plugin can use this one to log something. it's giving "dear diary" energy. 📓💜

since this is mostly for debugging, the default is to log plugin-specific messages with log_level=4. (peep the log_level attribute above, it's all connected, it's a whole ecosystem 🔥)
