💖 Test::Stream::Compare::Pattern 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation for the module Test::Stream::Compare::Pattern — she's a little Perl gem, and we're gonna walk through her together, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Test::Stream::Compare::Pattern — use a pattern to validate values in a deep comparison. literally that's her whole thing. 🦋

🚨 DEPRECATED 🚨

bestie. listen. this one's deprecated. 😭

This whole distribution is deprecated, and it's been replaced by Test2, Test2::Suite, and Test2::Workflow.

If you need to make the switch, there's a conversion guide waiting for you in Test::Stream::Manual::ToTest2. she'll hold your hand through it fr fr. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: this lets you use a regex to validate a value inside a deep comparison. ✨

the way that sometimes a value just needs to look right, and it doesn't actually need to be an exact match?? yeah. that's the moment. 🙈

Classic example: a memory address. It's gonna change from run to run, so hardcoding it is giving chaos. but a pattern? a pattern ate. 💅
