✨ Test::Alien::CanCompile πŸ’…

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual β€” the whole family lives under the name Test::A...nCompile(3) if you're squinting at a terminal header, but the actual module we're talking about is Test::Alien::CanCompile and she's giving very specific energy. πŸ¦‹

🌸 NAME 🌸

Test::Alien::CanCompile β€” skip a test file unless a C compiler is available πŸ’€

πŸ’œ VERSION πŸ’œ

version 2.88 ✨

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

use Test::Alien::CanCompile;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one line. iconic. πŸ‘‘

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

ngl, this is literally just a Test2 plugin that requires that a compiler be available. πŸ› οΈ

Otherwise? The test gets skipped. periodt. πŸ’…

like, she's not doing anything fancy β€” she's just checking "hey, is there a C compiler in the house?" and if the answer is no, she goes "okay bestie we're not doing this today" and the test file bounces. no cap. 😭
