Softwar...OpenSSL(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Softwar...OpenSSL(3) manual page — yes, it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and we're starting with the name. This one is Software::License::OpenSSL — literally The OpenSSL License. That's the whole name-and-description moment, periodt. 💅

💖 VERSION 💖

This module is serving version 0.104007. Iconic, no cap. ✨

🎀 PERL VERSION 🎀

So here's the tea: this module is part of CPAN toolchain, or is treated as such. Because of that, it follows the agreement of the Perl Toolchain Gang to require no newer version of perl than one released in the last ten years. This version may change by agreement of the Toolchain Gang, but for now it is 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). 🫶

And yes, 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. That's the whole boundary, bestie — take it seriously. 💀
