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

💀 NAME 💀

WWW::Shorten::_dead — the ✨afterlife✨ where dead link-shortening services go to rest, bestie 🪦🦋

---

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

okay so if you're writing a service module that's, like, no longer a thing, you make it look exactly like this:

# just change your service to look like this:
package WWW::Shorten::SomeDeadService;
use strict;
use warnings;

our $VERSION = '1.001';
$VERSION = eval $VERSION;

# ensure a common error message will be given to the user
require WWW::Shorten::_dead;

1;

no cap, that's literally it 💅

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay so picture this: this is just a module that we use for link-shortening services that we used to support but which no longer exist. 💀

that's the whole vibe. it's giving graveyard, but like, a respectful one. 🎀 the services didn't make it, we kept their little module slots warm anyway, and if you require this, the user gets a common error message instead of a confusing void. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑
