💖 Menlo::Legacy 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Menlo::Legacy (that's the Menlo::Legacy(3pm) page btw, we're just vibing) — the lil package that's holding it down for legacy internal and client support for Menlo. yes, the name literally tells you what it does. iconic behavior. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Menlo::Legacy — legacy internal and client support for Menlo. she's vintage, she's stable, she's not going anywhere 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea, bestie 🍓

Menlo::Legacy is a package whose whole job is to install Menlo::CLI::Compat. and what is Menlo::CLI::Compat? it's a compatibility library that implements the classic version of cpanminus internals and behaviors. like, the OG cpanm vibes, preserved in amber. 🦋

why tho?? because the existing users of cpanm and API clients — think Carton, Carmel and App::cpm — need to be able to rely on the stable features and specific behaviors of cpanm. they're not trying to have their whole world rocked by a surprise refactor, no ma'am. 🙈

and the way that this slays is that it lets Menlo evolve and be refactored without the fear of breaking any downstream clients, including cpanm itself. main character growth arc for Menlo, zero casualties downstream. periodt. 👑
