.SH "NAME"
Test2::Util::Ref \- Tools for inspecting or manipulating references.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
These are used by Test2::Tools to inspect, render, or manipulate references.
.SH "EXPORTS"
.IX Header "EXPORTS"
All exports are optional. You must specify subs to import.
.ie n .IP "$type = rtype($ref)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$type\fR = rtype($ref)" 4
.IX Item "$type = rtype($ref)"
A normalization between \f(CW\*(C`Scalar::Util::reftype()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`ref()\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
Always returns a string.
.Sp
Returns \f(CW\*(AqREGEXP\*(Aq\fR for regex types
.Sp
Returns \f(CW\*(Aq\*(Aq\fR for non-refs
.Sp
Otherwise returns what \f(CW\*(C`Scalar::Util::reftype()\*(C'\fR returns.
.ie n .IP "$addr_str = render_ref($ref)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$addr_str\fR = render_ref($ref)" 4
.IX Item "$addr_str = render_ref($ref)"
Always returns a string. For unblessed references this returns something like
\&\f(CW"SCALAR(0x...)"\fR. For blessed references it returns
\&\f(CW"My::Thing=SCALAR(0x...)"\fR. The only difference between this and \f(CW\*(C`$add_str =
"$thing"\*(C'\fR is that it ignores any overloading to ensure it is always the ref
address.
