πŸ’– Test::Alien::CanPlatypus πŸ’–

okay bestie, so we're in the Perl docs, specifically the Test::Alien::CanPlatypus page (that's the (3) manpage vibe, section 3, we love her) πŸ¦‹

✨ NAME ✨

Test::Alien::CanPlatypus β€” it skips a whole test file unless FFI::Platypus is available. that's it. that's the girl. πŸ’…

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.88

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

just, like, do this:

use Test::Alien::CanPlatypus;

and you're done. no cap. ✨

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so basically this is just a Test2 plugin, and all she does is require that FFI::Platypus be available. if it is? slay, carry on. if it isn't? the test gets skipped, no drama, no failing, just a lil skip. 🫢

not me gatekeeping your test suite behind one dependency check, but like, that's genuinely the whole job. πŸ’€

and that's the whole page bestie, we ate and left no crumbs πŸ’…βœ¨

cute lil sign-off: this was rendered by perl v5.42.3 on 2026-09-21, and yeah the manpage title got truncated to Test::A...latypus(3) which is honestly giving "name too long for the terminal" but we move πŸ’€πŸ¦‹
