💖 Statistics::R::Legacy — the perl manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, this is the page for Statis...:Legacy(3pm), part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection. Buckle up, it's short but it's important. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Statistics::R::Legacy — legacy methods for Statistics::R. it's giving "we keep the old stuff around so nothing explodes" energy. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Do not use this module directly. Use Statistics::R instead. fr fr. 🫶

so this module is literally just a lil museum of legacy methods for Statistics::R. they exist for one reason and one reason only: so that code written against older versions of Statistics::R doesn't crash when it runs against a recent version. that's it. that's the whole job. 😭

and because we care about you: do NOT use these methods in new code! periodt. 💀

now, some of these legacy methods just got a name change — same vibe, new label, iconic. but some others got changed to do nothing and return only a single value, because honestly it stopped making sense to keep them doing what they originally did. the way that happens is just... growth. 🌱

👑 METHODS 👑

  • startR() — this is the same thing as start(). same bestie, different name. ✨
