💖 NAME 💖

Software::License::Sun — bestie, this is the module for the Sun Internet Standards Source License, aka SISSL ✨ (yes, the acronym is giving 2001 and we love her anyway).

It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, which is literally where all the fun modules hang out 🫶

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.104007 — that's the number, no cap, write it down 📝

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

Okay so this one has lore 👑

This module is part of the CPAN toolchain, or at least it's treated like it is — so it follows the agreement of the Perl Toolchain Gang to require no newer version of perl than one released in the last ten years. Iconic restraint, honestly 💅

Heads up though: this version may change by agreement of the Toolchain Gang, but for now it's governed by the Lancaster Consensus of 2013 and the Lyon Amendment of 2023, described at the linked-to document:

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

⚠️ Real talk: even though it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version won't get bumped. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. So don't come for her with a downgrade patch, she's not doing that 😭
