Ravada::Utils(3)

💖 Ravada::Utils 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Ravada::Utils — this is the misc utility grab-bag for Ravada, documented in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual. It's giving "little helper drawer in the kitchen," and honestly? We love her. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Ravada::Utils — Misc util libraries for Ravada 🦋

🕐 now

Returns the current datetime. That's it, that's the whole vibe. clocking in ⏰

Optionally you can pass seconds to substract to the current time. (Yes, "substract" — that's what the original says, and we do not edit the ancestors. 💅)

🎲 random_name

Returns a random name. Chaos generator, but make it cute. 🧚✨

📏 Argument length

my name = Ravada::Utils::random_name($length); # length default 8

so yeah, you hand it a $length, and if you don't, it just goes with 8 on its own. no cap. 👑

🫶 heads up bestie: that line above is written exactly as it appears in the original — keep it character-for-character, my name = and all. Not our job to "fix" it, our job is to preserve it. 💀

and that's the whole page, fr fr. this one's short and sweet — Ravada::Utils shipped as part of perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-09-20, and honestly she ate and left no crumbs. go forth and generate random names, you main character. 🌈💜🌸
