💖 ZoneMi...xample(3pm) — the User Contributed Perl Documentation moment 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're reading a manpage together and honestly? it's giving "author left the group chat on read." 💀 let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ZoneMinder::Database — a Perl extension for, and I'm quoting here, blah blah blah. 🫶 yeah. that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use ZoneMinder::Database;
blah blah blah

that's it. that's the synopsis. she said what she said. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is stub documentation for ZoneMinder, and it was created by h2xs — which is that little scaffolding tool that spits out a skeleton for you. and it looks like the author of the extension was negligent enough to leave the stub unedited. their words, not mine!! 😭 they literally said it themselves, I'm just the messenger.

and then, for good measure: blah blah blah. iconic, no notes, main character energy fr fr. ✨

🎀 EXPORT 🎀

None by default. — so like, nothing gets exported unless you ask. lowkey respectful of your personal space tbh. 💖

---

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay so this section is literally instructions on what this section should contain, which is so funny to me. it says to mention other useful documentation, like the docs for related modules, or operating system documentation (such as man pages in UNIX — hey, that's us!! 👋), or any relevant external documentation such as RFCs or standards.

it also says: if you have a mailing list set up for your module, mention it here. 📧

and: if you have a web site set up for your module, mention it here. 🌐

(so basically, dear future maintainer, this is your cue. the placeholder is placeholdering. go off.) 🧚

and that's the whole page!! 💅 documented with perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-02-01, filed under ZoneMi...xample(3pm) — and yes the title has an ellipsis in it, that's not me being dramatic, that's just what it's called. go read something that isn't a stub next, ily, bye!! 🎀✨💖
