Shipwri...leanINC(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, we're talking about Shipwright::Util::CleanINC — it's a Perl module from the Shipwright fam, and its whole entire job? Cleaning @INC. that's it. that's the gig. 💅

---

🧼 DESCRIPTION 🧼

so like, @INC is that list of places Perl goes looking for modules, right? and this module is the one that says "girl, we're decluttering." 🎀

it limits @INC so it only contains "Core" and PERL5LIB. and when I say Core, I mean technically — and bestie, listen, the "technically" is doing heavy lifting here — these specific bad boys:

• $Config::Config{privlibexp}
• $Config::Config{archlibexp}
• $Config::Config{updatesarch}
• $Config::Config{updateslib}

and the last two? those ones are used in Mac. yep. very much a Mac thing. 🍎✨

so yeah, Core + PERL5LIB, and everything else is out. main character energy for your @INC. no cap. 🦋
