Path::I...rMarker(3)

💅 Path::I...rMarker(3) 💅

okay so welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Path::IsDev::Heuristic::DevDirMarker — the manual name is folded in right here, bestie, because we're cute like that 🫶. this whole page is about one little heuristic, and it's a whole vibe.

🌸 NAME 🌸

Path::IsDev::Heuristic::DevDirMarker — determine if a path contains a .devdir file. that's the mission, and it ate 💅.

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.001003 — that's the number, no cap 🔥.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this Heuristic is a workaround, and it's likely viable if none of the other Heuristics work for you. lowkey it's the backup plan that shows up and does its thing 😭.

all this heuristic checks for is the presence of a special file called .devdir. that file is intended as an explicit notation that "This directory is a project root" — like the folder is wearing a tiny crown that says project root 👑.

an example case where you might need such a Heuristic: you're not working with a Perl CPAN dist, but instead you're working on a project in a different language, where Perl is simply there for build/test purposes. iykyk, Perl is just doing backup dancer duty 💃.

💖 METHODS 💖

✨ files ✨

matches files named:

.devdir

that's the list, bestie — just .devdir, and it's iconic for it 🎯.

🦋 matches 🦋

matches if any of the files in files exist as children of the path. so like, if .devdir is sitting inside that path, this heuristic says yes — periodt 🌈.
