NAME
App::KDEActivityUtils - Utilities related to KDE Activities
VERSION
This document describes version 0.001 of App::KDEActivityUtils (from Perl distribution App-KDEActivityUtils), released on 2026-03-26.
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This distribution includes several utilities related to KDE activities as alternatives/wrappers to kactivities-cli:
FUNCTIONS
list_kde_activities
Usage:
list_kde_activities(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]List all known KDE activities.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
detail => bool
(No description)
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.
Return value: (any)
list_kde_activities_stack
Usage:
list_kde_activities_stack() -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]List KDE activities in the order of set().
This function is not exported.
No arguments.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -lIf you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
