💖 System::Info::Cygwin 💖

okay so this is System::Info::Cygwin — it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation gang, and it's literally just the Cygwin-flavored little sibling of the System::Info crew 🦋. Think of it as an object that knows Cygwin-specific stuff. yes bestie, one OS, its own whole module. iconic behavior honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

System::Info::Cygwin — an object for specific Cygwin info. that's it, that's the whole job description 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

She's got two methods and she serves them both. periodt.

🫶 $si->prepare_sysinfo()

okay so this one uses os-specific tools to find out more about the system. like, the whole system. she's nosy in the best way 💅

🫶 $si->prepare_os

and this one? same energy, but for the operating system. uses os-specific tools to find out more about the OS specifically. two methods, two vibes, one very thorough module ✨
