Module:...Version(3)

💅 Module:...Version(3) — like, the actually deprecated one, bestie

okay so real talk: this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and the whole vibe here is "we used to do this, we don't anymore, and honestly? good for us." She's short, she's sweet, she's retired. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Module::Build::Version — DEPRECATED 🪦

Like. That's it. That's the whole name section. The name is the name and the mood is deprecated. No notes. 💀

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.4210

that's the number, don't come for me, it's right there ⭐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, and it's honestly kind of anticlimactic in the best way 🍓

Module::Build now lists version as a "configure_requires" dependency — meaning it just asks for it like a normal, well-adjusted module instead of doing anything weird.

and because of that, it no longer installs a copy of it. like, the whole point of this module was to bundle a copy in, and now it doesn't, so this module is just... vibing in the deprecated zone. no cap. ✨

lowkey the entire DESCRIPTION is "we stopped doing the thing." iconic honestly. she said "my work here is done" and left. 👑

okay that's the whole page, it was literally four sections and a vibe check 😭

sign-off time, bestie: this little gem came out of perl v5.32.1 on 2021-07-22, and the manual page name is Module:...Version(3). she's a tiny time capsule of a simpler era. mwah 💋 🦋✨
