WWW::S...:Count(3pm)

💅 WWW::Search::Null::Count(3pm) — yes bestie, it's a Perl manpage 🎀

Okay so picture this: it's perl v5.30.3, and you're staring at the WWW::Search::Null::Count page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. Grab a strawberry 🍓, because this one's short and honestly kind of iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

WWW::Search::Null::Count — literally just a class for testing WWW::Search clients 🧚

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use WWW::Search;
my $iCount = 4;
my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Null::Count',
                              '_null_count' => $iCount,
                             );
$oSearch->native_query('Makes no difference what you search for...');
my @aoResults = $oSearch->results;
# ...You get $iCount results.

No cap, you literally get $iCount results. The search string does not matter one bit 💀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this class is a specialization of WWW::Search — and here's the cute part — it returns some hits, but no error message. Not one. Zero drama. 🙈

The number of hits it hands back is under your control, bestie: just add a '_null_count' hash entry onto your call to WWW::Search::new(). And if you don't say anything?

The default is 5. Five little results, just vibing. ✨

Why does this exist? Glad you asked 💖 — this module might be useful for testing a client program without actually being connected to any particular search engine. It's giving fake search engine, real results. Main character energy for your test suite, fr fr. 👑
