PreferredMethod(3pm)

💖 PreferredMethod 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to PreferredMethod(3pm) — a lil gem from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world, and honestly? she's serving. ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

XMLTV::PreferredMethod — bestie, what it does is literally in the name: it adds a preferredmethod argument to XMLTV grabbers. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍵 — this module adds a --preferredmethod argument to your program. iconic, right? you set it up like this:

use XMLTV::PreferredMethod 'allatonce';

and now the fun part, pay attention 💅 — if a --preferredmethod parameter gets supplied on the command-line, it's already caught by that use statement. like, it never even makes it to your code. the string you supplied in the use-line gets printed to STDOUT, and then the program just exits. boom. done. periodt. 💀

no cap, that's genuinely all she does — she catches the flag, prints your string, and dips. main character exit. 👑

and bestie, please don't forget to announce the preferredmethod capability as well. it's giving manners. it's giving good citizenship. do it. 🙈
