Test2::Util::Ref - Tools for inspecting or manipulating references.
These are used by Test2::Tools to inspect, render, or manipulate references.
All exports are optional. You must specify subs to import.
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.
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.
