Net::C...oopback(3pm)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is the manual page for Net::CLI::Interact::Transport::Loopback — your little Testable CLI connection, hanging out in section 3pm like the icon it is ✨

🦋 DECRIPTION 🦋

(no because the heading really is spelled that way and I'm not gonna gaslight you 🙈)

So like — this module hands you a wrapped instance of Perl that literally just echoes back whatever you throw at it. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🪞💬

And why would you want a Perl that just parrots you back? Because it's the plug for the Net::CLI::Interact test suite, babes. It's the fake CLI so your real CLI code can go off without ever touching an actual device 🔥

💅 INTERFACE 💅

🍓 app

Defaults to the value of $^X — which is, and I cannot stress this enough, Perl itself 🐪 periodt.

🌸 runtime_options

Returns Perl options that turn the whole thing into a CLI emulator, no cap:

-ne 'BEGIN { $| = 1 }; print $_, time, "\nPROMPT>\n";'

For example, say you send this:

some command
some command
1301578196
PROMPT>

So in this case the output command was "some command" — which got echoed back at you — followed by the dummy command output (epoch seconds, hello 1301578196 👋) and then finally a "prompt" to close it out. Chef's kiss, it's giving full fake-terminal fantasy 🧚✨
