Perl::...rereqs(3pm)

πŸ’– Perl::...rereqs(3pm) β€” the whole vibe πŸ’–

okay so bestie, this page lists as Perl::...rereqs(3pm) in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and the actual full name of the thing is:

Perl::PrereqScanner::NotQuiteLite::Util::Prereqs

yes the filename is all abbreviated and mysterious, no that's not a typo, that's just how the man page shelf labels it. moving on ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

Perl::PrereqScanner::NotQuiteLite::Util::Prereqs β€” that's the whole name, say it with your chest πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

...and that's it. That's the section. Literally nothing in it. Silence. Crickets. πŸ¦‹

Like, not "here's an empty code block", not "here's a usage line" β€” the original just leaves it blank, and we're not about to invent one, periodt. This is an internal thing, so nobody's supposed to be typing it out at a shell prompt anyway, iykyk πŸ™ˆ


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Real talk: this is an internal utility to dedupe prereqs. That's the entire description, and it's honestly iconic in its brevity πŸ‘‘

So like β€” it exists to take prereqs and dedupe them. Clean up the duplicates. That's its whole job, and it's doing it. No cap. 🫢

It says internal, bestie, so this isn't a public API you're meant to be calling yourself. It's plumbing in the Perl::PrereqScanner::NotQuiteLite machinery. πŸ’€

πŸ“ SEE ALSO πŸ“

Nope, there isn't one! The original has no SEE ALSO section, so there's nothing to point you at. No crumbs, no links, no cross-refs. Just vibes. 🧚
