MetaCP...Package(3pm)

💖 MetaCPAN::Client::Package — a package data object (02packages.details entry) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for MetaCPAN::Client::Package, a lil slice of User Contributed Perl Documentation that's basically the glow-up guide for one single package entry. yes, the title is literally MetaCP...Package(3pm) because someone decided truncation was a personality trait. iconic of them. 🎀

✨ VERSION ✨

this is version 2.044000. girl is on her 2.044000 era and she is thriving. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so like, here's the whole entire vibe in one line:

my $package = $mcpan->package('MooseX::Types');

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. you call .package on your $mcpan and boom, you got a package object. 🦋

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

A MetaCPAN package (02packages.details) entity object.

fr fr, that's the deal. it's an entity object — one little package-shaped bean from the 02packages.details file. think of it as a single row in the world's biggest CPAN spreadsheet, except it's got main character energy. 👑
