74 less - perl pragma to request less of something
82 This is a user-pragma. If you're very lucky some code you're using
83 will know that you asked for less CPU usage or ram or fat or... we
84 just can't know. Consult your documentation on everything you're
87 For general suggestions, try requesting C<CPU> or C<memory>.
93 If you ask for nothing in particular, you'll be asking for C<less
98 =head1 FOR MODULE AUTHORS
100 L<less> has been in the core as a "joke" module for ages now and it
101 hasn't had any real way to communicating any information to
102 anything. Thanks to Nicholas Clark we have user pragmas (see
103 L<perlpragma>) and now C<less> can do something.
105 You can probably expect your users to be able to guess that they can
106 request less CPU or memory or just "less" overall.
108 If the user didn't specify anything, it's interpreted as having used
109 the C<please> tag. It's up to you to make this useful.
115 =head2 C<< BOOLEAN = less->of( FEATURE ) >>
117 The class method C<< less->of( NAME ) >> returns a boolean to tell you
118 whether your user requested less of something.
120 if ( less->of( 'CPU' ) ) {
123 elsif ( less->of( 'memory' ) ) {
127 =head2 C<< FEATURES = less->of() >>
129 If you don't ask for any feature, you get the list of features that
130 the user requested you to be nice to. This has the nice side effect
131 that if you don't respect anything in particular then you can just ask
132 for it and use it like a boolean.
145 =item This probably does nothing.
147 =item This works only on 5.10+
149 At least it's backwards compatible in not doing much.
