✨ NAME ✨

Rinci::package — metadata for your namespaces/packages 🫶

📌 SPECIFICATION VERSION 📌

1.1

🏷️ VERSION 🏷️

This doc describes version 1.1.104 of Rinci::package (out of the Perl distribution Rinci), and it dropped on 2023-09-30. iconic behavior honestly. ⭐

🌸 INTRODUCTION 🌸

So this whole document is about metadata for namespaces/packages. That's it, that's the vibe. And lowkey important: this specification is part of Rinci, so if you haven't already done a read-up on Rinci, bestie, go do that first. it's giving prerequisites. 💅

🔥 SPECIFICATION 🔥

okay so first question, and it's the big one: namespace? package? which one??

The term "package" from Perl 5 is the one used here, and in this context it just means namespace. that's it. no cap.

BUT — plot twist — Perl also happens to use "package" to implement classes. 🙈 and like, metadata for classes is gonna be specified in a whole other specification (Rinci::class). so don't come for this page looking for class stuff. this page is namespaces only, periodt. 💅

💬 FAQ 💬

(yeah so this section is here and it is, uh, empty. the main character has no lines. moving on bestie. 🦋)

Wanna help out? obsessed, yes please. To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub. 💌

Most of the time, you do not need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you do wanna build the distribution (like, say, to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. so like, if you had to do extra stuff, that's a whole bug bestie, tell me. 💀
