Text::...y::Long(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Text::Bidi::Array::Long — dual-life long arrays 💖 (it's a Perl module, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's giving "arrays but make them longue" 💅)

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.18 — yes bestie, that's the one, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's the whole vibe in four lines, look at her go:

use Text::Bidi::Array::Long;
my $a = new Text::Bidi::Array::Long "abc";
say $a->[0]; # says 6513249 (possibly)
say $a->[1]; # says 0
say $$a; # says abc
say "$a"; # also says abc

like…… the duality of woman. she's an array AND she's a string. obsessed. 🙈

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically: this is a derived class of Text::Bidi::Array, and she was literally designed to hold "long" arrays 👑. If you wanna know how to actually use this class, go read Text::Bidi::Array — that's the blueprint, iykyk.

The way that each element of the array representation corresponds to 4 octets in the string representation?? iconic. four. whole. octets. per element. ✨

And those 4 octets? They're packed in the endianness of the native machine 💀 — so yeah, she's doing whatever your machine's endianness is, that's just her truth, we respect it.
