💖 NAME 💖

Software::License::QPL_1_0 — the Q Public License, Version 1.0, bestie. That's it, that's the whole vibe. It's a Perl module that knows everything about the QPL 1.0 so you don't have to memorize it yourself 🫶

(This one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, fyi — section 3, the library-call section, iykyk.)

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.104007 — literally right there in the code, no cap 💅

🎀 PERL VERSION 🎀

Okay so here's the tea ☕ — this module is part of the CPAN toolchain, or it's treated like it is, which means it plays by the rules of the Perl Toolchain Gang. And their whole agreement is: don't require a newer perl than one that came out in the last ten years. Simple as that 🦋

That number can change — but only if the Toolchain Gang all agree on it. For now it's governed by the Lancaster Consensus of 2013, plus the Lyon Amendment of 2023 (both of which are described in the linked-to document):

https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/toolchain-site/blob/master/lancaster-consensus.md

And like… yes, it might work on older perls. But there is no guarantee that the minimum required version won't get bumped. It can be raised for any reason, and ngl, there's no promise that patches to lower the minimum required perl will even be accepted. So don't come for her 😭
