Net::I...e::SSL(3pm)

💖 Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, you know how I keep telling you about Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL? this is literally its manual page, Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL(3pm), straight from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and I'm about to walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. it's short. it's iconic. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL — SSL support for Net::IMAP::Simple 💅

like. that's it. that's the whole identity. it's the SSL glow-up.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, copy it exactly, don't freestyle:

use Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL;
my $imap = Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL->new($server);

$imap->login($user => $pass);

my $total_messages = $imap->select("perl-advocacy");

see how easy that is?? you use the module, you make a new object with your $server, you login with $user => $pass, and then you select a mailbox — in the example it's "perl-advocacy" — and boom, $total_messages is right there holding your message count. main character energy fr fr 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the tea: this module is a subclass of Net::IMAP::SImple that includes SSL support.

and yes bestie, that spelling is exactly what the page says — Net::IMAP::SImple, capital I in the middle. I am not touching it. copy-paste privileges only, no cap 🙈

and here's the part that lowkey slays: the interface is identical. same calls, same everything, just with the SSL on top. so if you already know how to talk to the parent, you already know how to talk to this. no new muscle memory required. obsessed. ⭐
