Test::Stream::Compare::Meta - Check library for meta-checks
This is an experimental release! Test-Stream, and all its components are still in an experimental phase. This dist has been released to cpan in order to allow testers and early adopters the chance to write experimental new tools with it, or to add experimental support for it into old tools.
PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETELY CONVERT OLD TOOLS YET. This experimental release is very likely to see a lot of code churn. API's may break at any time. Test-Stream should NOT be depended on by any toolchain level tools until the experimental phase is over.
Sometimes in a deep comparison you want to run extra checks against an item down the chain. This library allows you to write a check that verifies several attributes of an item.
Lets you check that an item is blessed, and that it is blessed into the expected class.
Lets you check the reftype of the item.
Lets you check the item itself.
Lets you check the size of the item, for an arrayref this is the number of elements, for a hashref this is the number of keys, for everything else this is undef.
