Test2::...c::Util(3)

💖 Test2::...c::Util 💖

okay so bestie, this is Test2::Tools::PerlCritic::Util — a lil module of utility functions, living in the Perl manual pages. That's the name, that's the vibe, we move. 🎀

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.08 — she's on 0.08, no cap. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Test2::Tools::PerlCritic::Util qw( perl_critic_config_id );

that's it. that's the whole entrance. pull in perl_critic_config_id and you're golden. ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this module hands you some utility functions that are genuinely useful when you're out here doing Perl::Critic testing. it's giving helper energy. it's giving "let me make your life easier" energy. 🫶

👑 FUNCTIONS 👑

💜 perl_critic_config_id

my $id = perl_critic_config_id $config;
my $id = perl_critic_config_id;

bestie. listen. this one computes an id of the Perl::Critic configuration. like, it looks at your config and goes "yes, I know what this is, here's its id." iconic behavior fr fr.

about that $config argument — it should be either an instance of Perl::Critic or an instance of Perl::Critic::Config. either one, she's flexible, she's not gonna fight you on it. 💅

and if you don't pass anything in at all? no worries, no stress — a default Perl::Critic::Config will be created for you. you literally just call it with nothing and she'll sort herself out. main character energy. ⭐

CAVEAT: okay so this part is important and I need you to actually read it, not just scroll past. 😭 This isn't really possible with 100% accuracy with the Perl::Critic API — like, the API does not hand you a perfect answer, that's just not a thing it can do. So instead, we make some assumptions about common conventions that typically do hold in virtually all cases. "Virtually all" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in that sentence, so... yeah. just know that. 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🦋✨

this little writeup came to you from perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25, and yeah — the manual title gets shortened to Test2::...c::Util(3) because Perl docs love a mysterious little ellipsis moment. iykyk. 💅🎀
