Prima::Stress(3)

✨ Prima::Stress 💖

okay so this is Prima::Stress(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section — a lil stress-test module that lives in the Prima family 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Prima::Stress — it's a stress test module, bestie. that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. this module is made for test purposes, fr fr. its whole job is to check how a program or a module holds up under particular conditions — the kind of conditions you'd 100% overlook while you're designing stuff, no cap 😭

right now, the stress factors that are actually implemented are:

• the default font size
• the default scrollbar sizes
• the UI-scaling factor

and here's the cute part: those get set to different random values every single time the module is invoked ✨ like, every run is a little surprise. it's giving chaos as a feature 💀

to use it, you literally just drop in a typical

use Prima::Stress;

and that's it. or, if your program gets invoked by calling perl, you can go the other route and use the

perl -MPrima::Stress program

syntax instead. same energy, different doorway 🚪✨

heads up: the module does not provide any methods. like, zero. none. it's method-less. however — you absolutely can address individual aspects of the UI defaults, and that's what the API section is about 👑

🎀 API 🎀

🌟 Font size 🌟

use Prima::Stress q(fs=18);
perl -MPrima::Stress=fs=18 program

this syntax changes the default font size to 18 points. so if you've ever wanted your fonts to just be bigger for absolutely no reason — here's your moment 💖

---

🌟 Display resolution 🌟

use Prima::Stress q(dpi=192);
perl -MPrima::Stress=dpi=192 program

this syntax changes the display resolution to 192 pixels per inch. that's a lot of pixels per inch, and that's the point 🫶

---

🌟 Scrollbar sizes 🌟

use Prima::Stress q(src=40);
perl -MPrima::Stress=src=40 program

this syntax changes the default width of vertical scrollbars and the default height of horizontal scrollbars to 40 pixels. chunky scrollbars era 🎀
