Perl::...totype(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so you're on the Perl::...totype(3pm) page — brought to you by User Contributed Perl Documentation — and the actual star of the show is Perl::Critic::ProfilePrototype: Generate an initial Perl::Critic profile. bestie, it's giving “starter config energy” ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is a helper class that generates a prototype of a Perl::Critic profile (e.g. a .perlcriticrc file). There are no user-serviceable parts here. so don't go poking around expecting knobs to turn, okay? 💅

---

🛡️ INTERFACE SUPPORT 🛡️

This is considered to be a non-public class. Its interface is subject to change without notice. so like… don't get too attached to it staying exactly the same, fr fr 😭

---

🛠️ CONSTRUCTOR 🛠️

🎀 new( -policies => \@POLICY_OBJECTS )

Returns a reference to a new Perl::Critic::ProfilePrototype object. that's the whole job — cute, simple, iconic 👑

---

✨ METHODS ✨

to_string()

Returns a string representation of this ProfilePrototype. See OVERLOADS for more information. yes bestie, the method and the overload are lowkey besties 🫶

---

🔁 OVERLOADS 🔁

When a Perl::Critic::ProfilePrototype is evaluated in string context, it produces a multi-line summary of the policy name, default themes, and default severity for each Perl::Critic::Policy object that was given to the constructor of this ProfilePrototype. If the Policy supports an additional parameters, they will also be listed (but commented-out). The format is suitable for use as a .perlcriticrc file. so it's literally doing the config-drafting thing for you 🌈
