NAME

Test::Stream::Util - Tools used by Test::Stream and friends.

DESCRIPTION

Collection of tools used by Test::Stream and friends.

EXPORTS

$success = try { ... }
($success, $error) = try { ... }

Eval the codeblock, return success or failure, and optionally the error message. This code protects $@ and $!, they will be restored by the end of the run. This code also temporarily blocks $SIG{DIE} handlers.

protect { ... }

Similar to try, except that it does not catch exceptions. The idea here is to protect $@ and $! from changes. $@ and $! will be restored to whatever they were before the run so long as it is successful. If the run fails $! will still be restored, but $@ will contain the exception being thrown.

spoof([$package, $file, $line], "Code String", @args)

Eval the string provided as the second argument pretending to be the specified package, file, and line number. The main purpose of this is to have warnings and exceptions be thrown from the desired context.

Additional arguments will be added to an @args variable that is available to you inside your code string.

$usable_pattern = is_regex($PATTERN)

Check of the specified argument is a regex. This is mainly important in older perls where qr// did not work the way it does now.

is_dualvar

Do not use this, use Scalar::Util::isdual instead. This is kept around for legacy support.

unoverload
unoverload_str
unoverload_num

Legacy tools for unoverloading things.

$proper = translate_filename($encoding, $raw)

Translate filenames from whatever perl has them stored as into the proper, specified, encoding.
