💖 System...Generic(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this page is for System::Info::Generic, which lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (that's the 3pm part, iykyk ✨). Pull up a chair, it's a short one. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

System::Info::Generic — the object for Generic info. that's it. that's the whole name. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. sometimes you just need a plain instance of the base class, and having those floating around as actual base-class objects is ugly. so this exists. that's the entire reason. no cap. 😭

literally the whole description is "it would be ugly to have instances of the base class", and honestly? valid. she said aesthetic first, functionality second. iconic behavior 💖

okay legal girlies, gather round, this part matters 🫶
