✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet Pinto::PackageExtractor — it's a Perl module, and the manual page for it lives in section 3pm of the user-contributed Perl docs, filed under the very abbreviated name Pinto:...tractor(3pm) (the header literally truncates it like that, not me being dramatic 💅).

Its whole personality? Extract packages provided/required by a distribution archive. That's it. That's the job. It peeks inside a distribution archive and pulls out which packages that archive provides and which ones it requires. Iconic, focused, no notes. 👑

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.14 — yes, the glow-up era. 🦋
