Test2::Compare::Regex β regex direct comparison, and that's on periodt π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So what does this thing actually do? It's the module you reach for when you need to compare two regexes against each other. And how does it do that, you ask? It compares the stringified form of each regex. That's it. That's the whole vibe β no cap, that's literally the description. It takes your regex, it takes the other regex, it turns them into their string forms, and it goes "these matching?" π β¨
