💅 Test::S...::Scalar(3) — the whole vibe

okay so bestie, welcome to Test::Stream::Compare::Scalar(3), aka the lil module that shows up in your deep comparisons when somebody's got a scalar reference and needs it, like, represented. she's short, she's deprecated, she's still iconic. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

Test::Stream::Compare::Scalar — the representation of a Scalar Ref in deep comparisons. that's it, that's her whole job. 💖

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

not me having to tell you this… this distribution is deprecated, fr fr. it's been retired in favor of Test2, Test2::Suite, and Test2::Workflow.

if you're tryna convert, there's a whole guide: see Test::Stream::Manual::ToTest2. it's giving "glow up instructions." ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this thing gets used in deep comparisons to represent a scalar reference. lowkey that's the entire description. she's a niche queen and she knows it 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's how you'd actually use her, no cap:

my $sr = Test::Stream::Compare::Scalar->new(item => 'foo');

is([\'foo'], $sr, "pass");
is([\'bar'], $sr, "fail, different value");
is(['foo'],  $sr, "fail, not a ref");

see how it goes? first one slays, second one is a whole different value so it fails, and third one isn't even a ref so that's a fail too. vibe check: passed on one, failed on two. that's just how it is 💅
