💅 URI::icaps(3) — the perl-y one, from User Contributed Perl Documentation

Okay bestie, buckle up, because this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of a mood. It's the URI::icaps page from the Perl world, and it's giving "little sibling module that just points at its big sibling." Let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

URI::icaps — the URI scheme for ICAPS Identifiers. That's the whole name. Iconic, minimal, no notes 💅

🌈 VERSION 🌈

Version 5.20. Mark it, screenshot it, put it in the group chat 📸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

The whole vibe, in two lines:

use URI::icaps;

my $uri = URI->new('icaps://icap-proxy.example.com/');

That's it. That's the demo. Load the module, make a URI, live your life ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this module implements the "icaps:" URI scheme, which is defined in RFC 3507 — you can find that over at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3507 🧚

And what's that scheme for? The Internet Content Adaptation Protocol, which the page helpfully links to at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Content_Adaptation_Protocol — go read it, it's giving "networking but make it lore" 🦋

No cap, that's the entire description. Short queen energy 👑

🫶 SUBROUTINES/METHODS 🫶

Here's the tea: this module inherits the behaviour of URI::icap and overrides the securesecure> method. (Yes, that's literally how it's printed on the page — typo and all, and honestly? not me giggling 😭. The next section makes it extremely obvious it means secure, iykyk.)

🔒 secure

Returns 1, because icaps is a secure protocol. That's it. That's the method. Slay, honestly 💅

🌸 DIAGNOSTICS 🌸

See URI::icap. Go bother the parent module, bestie 🫶

🍓 DEPENDENCIES 🍓

None. Zero. Zilch. Self-sufficient main character energy 👑

🙈 INCOMPATIBILITIES 🙈

None reported. (As of this page's writing, anyway — we love a clean slate 🎀)
