This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.) Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. =head1 PRIVATE METHODS This role supplies only methods meant to be used internally by its consumer. =head2 _extract_comment_content($ppi_doc, $key) Given a key, try to find a comment matching C<# $key:> in the C<$ppi_document> and return everything but the prefix. e.g., given a document with a comment in it of the form: # ABSTRACT: Yada yada... ...and this is called... $self->_extract_comment_content($ppi, 'ABSTRACT') ...it returns to us: Yada yada... =head1 AUTHOR Ricardo SIGNES =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2023 by Ricardo SIGNES.
