💖 Test::Data::Function — the manual, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, so this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's all about Test::Data::Function. pull up a chair, we're doing this 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Test::Data::Function — test functions for functions 🎀

like, yes, that's the whole name. it tests functions. for functions. it's giving "functions all the way down" and honestly? iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the whole entire vibe check you need:

use Test::Data qw(Function);

that's it. that's the girl. load it up and go 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so this module is out here providing test functions for subroutine sorts of things. subroutines! functions! the little reusable blocks we all know and love 💖

if you've got a sub and you wanna poke at it with a test, this is your module. no cap.

🧚 Functions

here's the lineup, bestie — just the one, but she's doing her best:

  • prototype_ok( PROTOTYPE, SUB [, NAME ] ) — the one and only function in this module. you hand her a prototype, a sub, and optionally a name, and she does her thing ✨
