Available Packages
Name : perl-true
Version : 1.0.1
Release : 1.el8
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 27 k
Source : perl-true-1.0.1-1.el8.src.rpm
Repository : epel
Summary : Automatically return a true value when a file is required
URL : https://metacpan.org/release/true
License : Artistic 2.0
Description : Perl's require built-in (and its use wrapper) requires the files it loads to
: return a true value. This is usually accomplished by placing a single
:
: 1;
:
: statement at the end of included scripts or modules. It's not onerous to add
: but it's a speed bump on the Perl novice's road to enlightenment. In addition,
: it appears to be a non-sequitur to the uninitiated, leading some to attempt to
: mitigate its appearance with a comment:
:
: 1; # keep require happy
: or:
: 1; # Do not remove this line
: or even:
: 1; # Must end with this, because Perl is bogus.
:
: This module packages this "return true" behavior so that it need not be
: written explicitly. It can be used directly, but it is intended to be invoked
: from the import method of a Modern::Perl-style module that enables modern Perl
: features and conveniences and cleans up legacy Perl warts.
