β¨ ppt(3) β¨
okay so real talk, this is the ppt(3) manual page β yes, that's the manual name, it's literally right there in the corner, we love a self-referential moment π
πΈ NAME πΈ
ppt β bestie, this is the old name for the Perl Power Tools π like, vintage. retro. an icon before the rebrand.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
okay so here's the whole vibe check: you wanna go read the docs for PerlPowerTools instead, because that is the new umbrella module for all of this π«Ά it's giving "the glow-up version."
we keep the ppt name hanging around here because β fun fact β it was, like, the very first name of the project π history!! legacy!! main character origin story energy!!
π but ngl, here's the tragic part: if you go searching for "ppt" out in the wild, you're way more likely to get buried in PowerPoint resources instead π the SEO is not on our side, fr fr. not me fighting for my life against a slideshow app.
and that's the whole page, no cap β short, sweet, iconic π
sign-off szn: this lil page comes from perl v5.42.2 and it's dated 2026-02-15 πβ¨ go forth and use the right module, bestie π
