🎀 Software::License::Artistic_1_0(3) — The Artistic License, bestie 🎀

okay so welcome to this User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Software::License::Artistic_1_0(3). It’s giving license-module main character energy, and we’re gonna go through it together, no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Software::License::Artistic_1_0 — The Artistic License 💖 — yes, the license itself is the main character, periodt.

🦋 VERSION 🦋

version 0.104007 ⭐

🌈 PERL VERSION 🌈

okay so this module is part of the CPAN toolchain, or it’s treated like it is. As such, it follows the agreement of the Perl Toolchain Gang to require no newer version of perl than one released in the last ten years. The way that works may change by agreement of the Toolchain Gang, but for now it’s governed by the Lancaster Consensus <https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/toolchain-site/blob/master/lancaster-consensus.md> of 2013 and the Lyon Amendment of 2023 (described at the linked-to document). 🫶

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. 💀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

By default, this clause will be included. To disable it, include the following pair when instantiating the license:

aggregation_clause => 0

🧚 METHODS 🧚
