✨ NAME ✨

PCP::MMV — the Perl module for Memory Mapped Value instrumentation. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, literally just this:

use PCP::MMV;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. slay. ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the PCP::MMV Perl module is carrying the language bindings — the whole point is that you can build Perl programs that are instrumented with the Performance Co-Pilot Memory Mapped Value infrastructure. 🫶

and what even is that, you ask? it's an efficient data transport mechanism. the way it works is it makes the performance data from inside your Perl program available as PCP metrics by way of the MMV PMDA. no cap, that's the whole deal. 👑

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨
