💖 Test::Stream::Plugin::Capabilities 💖

okay bestie, gather round, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's all about Test::Stream::Plugin::Capabilities 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Test::Stream::Plugin::Capabilities — it imports constants so you can check what the current system is actually capable of. like, does this machine have the range? does it have the juice? let's find out 💅

---

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

okay so not to be dramatic but this distribution is deprecated, no cap. it's been replaced by Test2, Test2::Suite, and Test2::Workflow.

if you need to migrate, there's a conversion guide waiting for you in Test::Stream::Manual::ToTest2. go read it, bestie, don't stay in the past 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

sometimes you just wanna know what the current system can do. like, what are its capabilities?? and honestly, checking for that stuff manually can get complicated and error prone — it's giving chaos, it's giving bugs at 3am 😭

so this tool shows up like the main character and gives you constants for some of the most common capability checks. iconic behaviour, truly.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Test::Stream qw/... Capabilities/;

if (CAN_THREAD) {
    ... Code that uses threads ...
}

if (CAN_FORK) {
    ... Code that forks ...
}

if (CAN_REALLY_FORK) {
    ... Code that requires true forking, but breaks with pseudo-fork ...
}

look at that syntax, look at that structure, we love a clean import 🫶

🔍 CHECKS 🔍

for the full list of checks, go peek at Test::Stream::Capabilities — because this plugin is literally just a simple wrapper around it. it's the messenger, not the message, iykyk 💜
