💖 Test2:...esting(3perl) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Perl Programmers Reference Guide ✨ this is the Test2::Require::ReleaseTesting page, and yes the title is literally abbreviated like that in the header, we don't make the rules 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

Test2::Require::ReleaseTesting — only run a test when the RELEASE_TESTING environment variable is set 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea 🍓 — it's super common practice to write tests that only run when the RELEASE_TESTING environment variable is set.

This module does that whole job for you. It automates the (admittedly trivial) work of creating such a test. like yeah, it's not rocket science, but why do it yourself when you can just use a module and have it handled? main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀
