Pinto:...ackage(3pm)

💖 Pinto::Target::Package — like, it's a package but make it specific 💖

okay bestie so this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, the manual is called Pinto:...ackage(3pm), and we are SO about to get into it. Buckle up, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

Pinto::Target::Package — Specifies a package by name and version 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.14

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

👑 is_core

💅 is_core(in => $version)

Returns true if this Target is satisfied by the perl core as-of a particular version. If the version is not specified, it defaults to whatever version you are using right now. Like, the version you're literally running. No cap.

💀 real talk: that default is your current perl, so if you wanted a different version, bestie, you gotta say so.

🧚 is_perl()

Returns true if this Target is a perl version of perl itself. It's giving "perl-ception" ngl. 🌀

🌈 is_satisfied_by($version)

Returns true if this Target is satisfied by version $version of the package. Simple as that, periodt.

⭐ to_string()

Serializes this Target to its string form. This method is called whenever the Target is evaluated in string context. So like, when perl is like "gimme a string bestie", this is the method that shows up and slays. 🔥
