Test2::Util::Ref#

Tools for inspecting or manipulating references.

DESCRIPTION#

These are used by Test2::Tools to inspect, render, or manipulate references.

EXPORTS#

All exports are optional. You must specify subs to import.

  • $type = rtype($ref)

    A normalization between Scalar::Util::reftype() and ref().

    Always returns a string.

    Returns 'REGEXP' for regex types

    Returns '' for non-refs

    Otherwise returns what Scalar::Util::reftype() returns.

  • $addr_str = render_ref($ref)

    Always returns a string. For unblessed references this returns something like "SCALAR(0x...)". For blessed references it returns "My::Thing=SCALAR(0x...)". The only difference between this and $add_str =   "$thing" is that it ignores any overloading to ensure it is always the ref address.
