✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the vibe, straight up:

# Inherits from CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Box
# $form is a CGI::Test::Form

my @title = $form->radios_named("title");
my ($mister) = grep { $_->value eq "Mr" } @title;
$mister->check if defined $mister;

my $title = $form->radio_by_name("title");
$title->check_tagged("Mr");

no cap, that's the whole thing. grab ur radios, check one, slay 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this class? it represents a radio button widget. and the whole thing with radio buttons is that users can check them at will — like, whenever they want, no permission needed, main character energy fr. but here's the tea: the moment one gets checked, all the other radio buttons in the same group get automatically unchecked. periodt. that's just how groups work 💀

now, plot twist: if no radio button is checked initially, CGI::Test will arbitrarily pick the first one listed and hit you with a warn. so like, don't be surprised when that happens, it's just doing its thing 🙈

the interface? same one described in CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Box. no new nonsense, we're consistent here ✨

and listen — any attempt to "uncheck" a radio button is ignored, and a warning gets emitted via carp to help you find the caller. so like, if ur out here trying to uncheck a radio, the code is literally gonna @ you in the warnings. it's giving "I saw what you did" 😭

fr fr, read the carp warning — it's telling you exactly who called it. free debugging, bestie, take the gift 🫶
