WWW::S...h::Null(3pm)

🦋 WWW::S...h::Null(3pm) — the perl manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie so this is WWW::S...h::Null(3pm), a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? it's a whole mood. it's a module that does ~nothing~ on purpose and i'm obsessed 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

WWW::Search::NULL — literally a class for searching any web site 🫶 (yes, any. we love a chaotic overachiever.)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

require WWW::Search;
$search = new WWW::Search('Null');

that's it. that's the whole vibe. three lines and a dream 💖

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea: this class is a specialization of WWW::Search that only returns an error message. that's its entire job. it shows up, says "nope," and leaves. main character energy fr fr 😭✨

this class exports no public interface — none, zero, zip, nada. all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects, so don't try to talk to it directly, it doesn't know you like that 🙈

and ngl? this module is really a hack 👀 — for systems that want to include indices that have no corresponding WWW::Search module (like UNIONS). it's giving "we put a placeholder here so the array doesn't break" and honestly? valid. slay, little hack module, slay 🌈

lowkey reminder bestie: this module's whole thing is returning an error. if you were expecting search results, you're gonna have a bad time 😭 but if you needed a stand-in index with no real WWW::Search module behind it (like UNIONS), then congrats, you found your girl 🦋

and that's the page!! 🎉 this little gem is perl v5.30.3, dated 2020-09-10, and it lives under the WWW::S...h::Null(3pm) name in the User Contributed Perl Documentation — kudos to the ACC for the copyright flex, and to Paul Lindner for writing the most aggressively unhelpful search class ever, and i mean that with love 💖✨ see u in the next manpage, mwah 🫶🌸
