Pod::El...l::Types(3)

💜 Pod::El...l::Types(3) — like, the whole manual page, bestie

okay so this is the manual page for Pod::Elemental::Types, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the perl man pages. Yes the header truncates the package name with ... — that's a man page thing, not a typo, don't come for me 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Pod::Elemental::Types — literally just the data types for Pod::Elemental. that's the whole job. icon behavior, no notes 🎀

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.103006 ✨

---

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

so this is a library of MooseX::Types types, and the only thing it does is get used by Pod::Elemental. it's giving backstage crew at the award show — essential, unglamorous, lowkey the reason everything works 🫶

---

💖 PERL VERSION 💖

okay this part matters so pay attention bestie 👑

this library should run on perls released even, like, 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, there is no guarantee 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... it might work. but nobody's promising anything. read the room 😭

🔥 TYPES 🔥

FormatName ⭐

this is a valid name for a format (a Pod5::Region). and ngl the important bit: it does not expect the leading colon for pod-like regions. so don't hand it the colon, it's not that kind of party 🙈

ChompedString 🍓

this is a string that does not end with newlines. periodt. and it can be coerced from a Str ending in a single newline — the newline gets dropped. one newline, one chomp, done 💅
