Workflo...g::Perl(3)

💖 Workflow::Config::Perl 💖

okay bestie, so this is Workflow::Config::Perl — a little Perl module that lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your man pages, and it is literally here to parse workflow configurations as Perl data structures. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "glue code that just works" and we're obsessed. ✨

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

this documentation describes version 2.09 of this package. periodt. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

look at this. it's so clean. either of these is acceptable, no gatekeeping here:

# either of these is acceptable
my $parser = Workflow::Config->new( 'perl' );
my $parser = Workflow::Config->new( 'pl' );

my $conf = $parser->parse( 'condition',
                           'my_conditions.pl', 'your_conditions.perl' );

see how 'perl' and 'pl' both work? iconic. no cap. 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what this actually is: an implementation of configuration parser for serialized Perl data structures from files/data. meaning it takes your Perl-y config files and turns them into something useful, fr fr.

and if you wanna know what parse() really does under the hood, go check out Workflow::Config — the description lives there. this module is lowkey just the Perl-flavored specialist of that crew. 🌈

👑 METHODS 👑

💅 parse

this method is required implemented by Workflow::Config. so like, you don't get to skip it, it's mandatory, it's the main character. ✨

it takes two arguments:

• a string indicating the type of configuration. for a complete list of types please refer to Workflow::Config (go read it, bestie, i'm not gonna list them all here)
• a list of filenames containing at least a single file name — so one is fine, more is also fine, but zero? absolutely not. 🫶

and the method returns a list of configuration parameters. slay. 🔥
