Specio:...ry::Perl(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, this is the Specio:...ry::Perl(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's serving Specio::Library::Perl — Implements type constraint objects for some common Perl language things. Periodt. 💅

💖 VERSION 💖

version 0.49 — that's the number, no cap. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This library provides some additional string types for common cases. It's giving helper types for Perl things and we're obsessed. ✨

🎀 PackageName 🎀

A valid package name. Unlike the ClassName constraint from the Specio::Library::Builtins library, this package does not need to be loaded. Iconic behavior, honestly.

This type does allow Unicode characters. 🌈

🦋 ModuleName 🦋

Same as PackageName. That's it, that's the vibe — same rules, no extra plot twists. 🫶

🍓 DistName 🍓

A valid distribution name like DBD-Pg. Basically this is the same as a package name with the double-colons replaced by dashes. Note that there are some historical distribution names that don't fit this pattern, like CGI.pm.

This type does allow Unicode characters. ✨

💜 Identifier 💜

An Identifier is something that could be used as a symbol name or other identifier (filehandle, directory handle, subroutine name, format name, or label). It's what you put after the sigil (dollar sign, at sign, percent sign) in a variable name. Generally, it's a bunch of word characters not starting with a digit.

This type does allow Unicode characters. 🌟

💅 SafeIdentifier 💅

This is just like an Identifier, but it excludes the single-character variables underscore (_), "a"< and "b", as these are special variables to the Perl interpreter. So it's the same vibe, just with the special little guys filtered out. 🙈

🔥 LaxVersionStr and StrictVersionStr 🔥

Lax and strict version strings use the is_lax and is_strict methods from version to check if the given string would be a valid lax or strict version. version::Internals covers the details, but basically: lax versions are everything you may do, and strict omit many of the usages best avoided. Big "rules are rules but make them cute" energy. 💀

🫶 CREDITS 🫶
