💖 News::FormReply — the 3pm bestie you didn't know you needed 💖

okay so. this is News::FormReply, and she's a derivative of News::FormArticle and News::AutoReply. no cap, that's the whole vibe. she's giving mixin energy and we're obsessed. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use News::FormReply;

See below for functions available. yes bestie, scroll down, the good stuff is right there 👇

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this module is literally a "mixin" of News::FormArticle and News::AutoReply — two iconic parents, one iconic baby 💅

What she does: she generates form replies by doing substitutions on a text file. that's it, that's the whole personality. substitutions on a text file. slay.

🎀 USAGE 🎀

use News::FormReply;

Exports nothing. literally nothing. zero. she gives you absolutely no exports and honestly? respected. icon behaviour. 🫶

🧚 Constructor 🧚

  • new ( ORIGINAL, FILENAME [, SOURCE [...]] ) — bestie this one constructs an article as a reply to ORIGINAL, and it's initialised from the file you named, doing all that variable substitution with the values supplied by the SOURCE parameters (go peek at News::FormArticle for the deets, iykyk 👀).

okay but here's the tea 🔥: the Subject, To, References and In-Reply-To headers are set up after the template has been read and substituted. BUT — and this is important, bestie, don't skip it — a Subject header set in a template will not be overridden. she said what she said. 💅
