Devel:...Outrefs(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Devel::MAT::Tool::Outrefs πŸ’… β€” the tool that shows you the SVs referred to by a given SV. It's the Perl module doc for it, so that's the (3pm) manual you're reading, bestie 🫢


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

Okay so here's the tea β˜• β€” this Devel::MAT tool ships a command that lists out all the other SVs that a given SV is still holding a reference to. That's it, that's the whole job. Outgoing refs, made visible, no cap. ✨


πŸŽ€ COMANDS πŸŽ€

Not me spelling it exactly like the original does, because bestie, keeping every detail is the whole assignment πŸ’…

outrefs

pmat> outrefs defstash
...

Shows the outgoing references that refer to other SVs. iykyk 🌈

Takes the following named options:

  • --weak β€” includes weak direct references</> in the output. Heads up though: by default, only the strong direct ones get included πŸ‘‘
  • --all β€” includes both weak and indirect references in the output. The full gossip, no filter 🫒

And that's a wrap, bestie πŸ’– this whole thing is from perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-08-21 β€” so yeah, that's the version and the date, catalogued and iconic, periodt βœ¨πŸ¦‹
