man Test2::Tools::Ref (3): Tools for validating references.

DESCRIPTION

This module contains tools that allow you to verify that something is a ref. It also has tools to check if two refs are the same exact ref, or different. This module does not do any deep comparisons.

SYNOPSIS

use Test2::Tools::Ref;
# Insure something is a ref.
ref_ok($ref);
# Check that $ref is a HASH reference
ref_ok($ref, 'HASH', 'Must be a hash')
ref_is($refa, $refb, "Same exact reference");
ref_is_not($refa, $refb, "Not the same exact reference");

EXPORTS

All subs are exported by default.

ref_ok($thing)
ref_ok($thing, $type)
ref_ok($thing, $type, $name): This checks that $thing is a reference. If $type is specified then it will check that $thing is that type of reference.
ref_is($ref1, $ref2, $name): Verify that two references are the exact same reference.
ref_is_not($ref1, $ref2, $name): Verify that two references are not the exact same reference.
