use parent qw(Sys::Info::Base);
#...
sub foo {
    my $self = shift;

(yes the manpage has NAME twice, bestie. we don't question the ancestors' choices, we simply honor them. 💖)

🌈 METHODS 🌈

⭐ load_module CLASS

Loads the module named with CLASS. that's the whole thing. go load it. 🧚

💜 load_subclass TEMPLATE

Loads the specified class via TEMPLATE, like so:

my $class = __PACKAGE__->load_subclass('Sys::Info::Driver::%s::OS');

%s will be replaced with OSID. and apart from the template usage part, it is literally the same as load_module. no cap. 🔥

🌸 trim STRING

Returns the trimmed version of STRING. leading whitespace? gone. trailing whitespace? also gone. she's tidy. 🎀

💅 slurp FILE

Caches all contents of FILE into a scalar and then returns it. all of it. in one scalar. obsessed. 💖

🦋 read_file FILE

Caches all contents of FILE into an array and then returns it. same energy as slurp but make it list-y. 🌈

🌟 date2time DATE_STRING

Converts DATE_STRING into a unix timestamp. time is fake but timestamps are forever. ⏰✨

💀 uname

Returns a hashref built from POSIX::uname. that's the entire method description, she's efficient, she knows what she is. 😭
