🫶 Connection module 🫶

okay so hi bestie, welcome to Service...nection(3) — yes that's really the title, it's giving mysterious-clipped-name energy and honestly? iconic ✨ this little page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section and it's all about the Connection module for the Service-now Perl API. no cap, that's the whole vibe.

🌸 Desciption 🌸

(spelled exactly like that, and we love her for it 💖)

So. Connection is an object representation of a Connection object — the thing you use to access your Service-now instance. Think of it as your little keycard to get into your instance 🎀

And here's the part that ate: the Connection class can be overrided by the API user for implementations other than the default SOAP::Lite dependency. So if SOAP::Lite isn't your vibe, you are not stuck with it, bestie 💅

To override this class, provide the subroutines for new, open, and send.

That's it. Those three. new, open, send. periodt. 👑

🦋 System Requirements 🦋

The Service-now Perl API requires Perl 5.8 with the following modules installed:

• SOAP::Lite (prerequisites http://soaplite.com/prereqs.html) 0.71 or later
• Crypt::SSLeay
• IO::Socket::SSL

lowkey do a vibe check on your module list before you start, bestie — all three of those need to be there or nothing's gonna slay 😭

and that's the whole page, fr fr 💜 this one shipped as perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25 — so go forth, override responsibly, and stan a well-documented Connection object 🦋🌸💅
