Perl::...:Output(3pm)

💖 Perl::...:Output(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this lil page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and it's genuinely so short it's basically a cameo appearance. but every second of screen time matters, so let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Perl::Metrics::Simple::Output — it's the base class for output classes. that's it. that's the whole job. it's the mother of all output classes, the blueprint, the template, the main character that never actually shows up to the party itself 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the thing, bestie — you do not instantiate this one directly. no cap. you're supposed to use one of the sub-classes, like for example:

Perl::Metrics::Simple::Output::PlainText

so like… it's giving abstract base class energy. it's the vibe, not the vibe-enjoyer 💅

lowkey important: this is a base class, so it's the parent situation — the actual doing-of-things happens in the sub-classes. pick one of those and go off 👑

---

and that's the whole page, genuinely. a tiny queen. iconic for it, honestly. 🌈
