Test2::...:Scalar(3pm)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is the Test2::Compare::Scalar(3pm) page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide — and yes, the header/footer labels it Test2::...:Scalar(3pm), iykyk 💅

Test2::Compare::Scalar — literally the representation of a Scalar Ref in deep comparisons ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bestie, this is used in deep comparisons to represent a scalar reference. that’s the whole vibe. no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here’s the group-chat demo, copied exactly because we do not play with code 💅

my $sr = Test2::Compare::Scalar->new(item => 'foo');

is([\'foo'], $sr, "pass");
is([\'bar'], $sr, "fail, different value");
is(['foo'],  $sr, "fail, not a ref");

the way those is(...) calls spell out "pass", "fail, different value", and "fail, not a ref" is honestly iconic 😭🔥
