Perl::P...Scanner(3)

🎀 Perl::PrereqScanner::Scanner 🎀

okay bestie, this is the Perl::PrereqScanner::Scanner(3) manual page — a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation — and it's literally the scanner module that goes hunting for prereqs in a Perl document. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Perl::PrereqScanner::Scanner — something that scans for prereqs in a Perl document. 💅

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 1.100 — yes ma'am, that's the version. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is a role to be composed into classes that will act as scanners plugged into a Perl::PrereqScanner object. So think: the main character object gets scanner-class besties doing the role. 👑

These classes must provide a scan_for_prereqs method, and it gets called like this:

$scanner->scan_for_prereqs($ppi_doc, $version_requirements);

The scanner should alter the CPAN::Meta::Requirements object to reflect its findings about the PPI document. That's the whole vibe: scan the PPI doc, then update the requirements object with what you found. no cap. 🔥

🌈 PERL VERSION 🌈

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years. ⭐

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. So like, older perl might slay, but it's not promised, bestie. 💀
