💖 Test::Routine::Test::Role — the vibe

okay bestie, settle in, because we're looking at Test::Routine::Test::Role, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual-page universe (you'll see it filed under the truncated name Test::...t::Role in the headers, because someone had to name the file and they ran out of room 🫠). It's a role, and what it does is... provide test attributes. That's the whole job. It's giving tiny-but-iconic. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Test::Routine::Test::Role — a role that provides test attributes. yes, that's it, that's the girl. 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.032

periodt. lowkey obsessed with how short this section is.

🦋 PERL VERSION 🦋

okay so this is the important bit, listen up:

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. What does that mean in practice? It means any version of perl released in the last two to three years. 🌈

fr fr concrete example: if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. yep. two-ish years of perl. that's the window. ✨

⚠️ and here's the disclaimer, bestie, don't skip it: although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. so don't come in with a "hey can you support 5.8" PR, the answer is literally baked into the docs. 💀
