NAME

Test2::Util::Ref − Tools for inspecting or manipulating references.

DESCRIPTION

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

EXPORTS

All exports are optional. You must specify subs to import.
$type = rtype($ref)

A normalization between Scalar::Util::reftype() and ref().

Always returns a string.

Returns 'REGEXP' for regex types

Returns '' for non-refs

Otherwise returns what Scalar::Util::reftype() returns.

$addr_str = render_ref($ref)

Always returns a string. For unblessed references this returns something like "SCALAR(0x...)". For blessed references it returns "My::Thing=SCALAR(0x...)". The only difference between this and $add_str = "$thing" is that it ignores any overloading to ensure it is always the ref address.
