🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Ref::Util::XS(3) — the manual name is literally Ref::Util::XS, and it's the XS implementation for Ref::Util. No cap, that's the name: Ref::Util::XS - XS implementation for Ref::Util.

✨ VERSION ✨

0.117 — that's the version, bestie. Tiny number, big energy. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Synopsis time, exactly as given — copy-paste energy, periodt:

use Ref::Util;
# Don't use Ref::Util::XS directly!

if (is_arrayref($something) {
    print for @$something;
}
elsif (is_hashref($something)) {
    print for sort values %$something;
}

Literally don't use Ref::Util::XS directly; use Ref::Util and let the magic happen. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Ref::Util::XS is the XS implementation of Ref::Util, which provides several functions to help identify references in a more convenient way than the usual approach of examining the return value of ref. It's giving convenient-ref-identification realness.

You should use Ref::Util::XS by installing Ref::Util itself: if the system you install it on has a C compiler available, Ref::Util::XS will be installed and used automatically, providing a significant speed boost to everything that uses Ref::Util. Automatic glow-up, iykyk.

See Ref::Util for full documentation of the available functions. Go read it, bestie — that's where the full function menu lives.
