Description

Perl software can read Linux desktop entries quickly and understand application metadata such as names, icons, categories, commands, and visibility rules. This helps launchers, menu editors, package tools, and audits work with the same files desktop environments use.

It is a library for developers, not a graphical menu manager. Because desktop files may contain commands, tools using this module should treat untrusted entries carefully and avoid executing launch lines without validation.
