💖 ZoneMinder::Database — a.k.a. ZoneMi...:M8640(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and honestly? it's giving placeholder. like, the manual itself is ZoneMi...:M8640(3pm) and it has ✨absolutely nothing✨ to say for itself yet. iconic behaviour, honestly. let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ZoneMinder::Database — a Perl extension for blah blah blah

not me reading "blah blah blah" in an official manpage 💀 that's the whole vibe of this file fr fr

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use ZoneMinder::Database;
blah blah blah

like… that's it. that's the whole synopsis. two lines. one of them is literally blah blah blah. we love a low-effort moment 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: this is stub documentation for ZoneMinder, and it was created by h2xs. and it looks like the author of the extension was negligent enough to leave the stub unedited. 😭

that's not me being shady, that's literally what the page says. the manpage is snitching on its own author.

and then, for good measure:

blah blah blah.

periodt. that's the entire description. no notes. 💅

🎀 EXPORT 🎀

None by default.

nothing. zero. nada. no exports, no little gifts for your namespace, no nothing. it's giving minimalism. it's giving stub. it's giving "I'll finish this later" (they did not finish it later).

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this section is also still placeholder text — it's literally instructions telling you what to put here, bestie. here's the assignment:

  • mention other useful documentation — like the docs for related modules, or operating system documentation (think man pages in UNIX), or any relevant external documentation such as RFCs or standards 📚
  • if you have a mailing list set up for your module, mention it here 💌
  • if you have a web site set up for your module, mention it here 🌐

so like… fill those in. whenever. no rush. (it's been a while. there's been a while.) 🙈
