💖 Test2::Compare::Type 💖

okay bestie, quick lil intro: this page is Test2:...::Type(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's about letting you check a value's type mid-deep-comparison. periodt. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Test2::Compare::Type — use a type to validate values in a deep comparison. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the whole vibe here is: this lets you validate a value's type inside a deep comparison. Sometimes a value just needs to look right, yk? It doesn't have to be the exact thing. 🎀

Think about it like this — say you're obsessed with the fact that your code always returns an integer. You do not care whether it's 192 or 3. Both slay. Both are integers. That's the energy. 🔥

💀 CAVEATS 💀

ngl, this part matters. The definitions of Boolean, integer and number are exactly the same as those in Scalar::Type, because Scalar::Type is what this module is a thin wrapper around. No cap, no extra opinions, same definitions. 🫶

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Go read these icons too:

  • Scalar::Type

🐛 BUGS 🐛

If you find any bugs, please report them on Github — and preferably bring a test case with you. Giving us the receipts is the whole assignment. 🙈

💌 FEEDBACK 💌

I welcome feedback about my code, especially constructive criticism. Tell me what's not working bestie, I want to grow. 🌱
