NAME

6       Test2::Util::Ref - Tools for inspecting or manipulating references.
7

DESCRIPTION

9       These are used by Test2::Tools to inspect, render, or manipulate
10       references.
11

EXPORTS

13       All exports are optional. You must specify subs to import.
14
15       $type = rtype($ref)
16           A normalization between "Scalar::Util::reftype()" and "ref()".
17
18           Always returns a string.
19
20           Returns 'REGEXP' for regex types
21
22           Returns '' for non-refs
23
24           Otherwise returns what "Scalar::Util::reftype()" returns.
25
26       $addr_str = render_ref($ref)
27           Always returns a string. For unblessed references this returns
28           something like "SCALAR(0x...)". For blessed references it returns
29           "My::Thing=SCALAR(0x...)". The only difference between this and
30           "$add_str = "$thing"" is that it ignores any overloading to ensure
31           it is always the ref address.
