NAME

Test2::Tools::Explain -- Explain tools for Perl's Test2 framework

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

Test2::Suite dropped the explain() function that had been part of Test::More. For those who miss it in Test2, you can use Test2::Tools::Explain.

use Test2::Tools::Explain;

my $errors = fleeble_the_whatzit();
is( $errors, [], 'Should have no errors from fleebling' ) or diag explain( $errors );

EXPORTS

All functions in this module are exported by default.

SUBROUTINES

explain( @things_to_explain )

Will convert the contents of any references in a human readable format, and return them as strings. Usually you want to pass this into note or diag.

Handy for things like:

is( $errors, [], 'Should have no errors' ) or diag explain( $errors );

Note that explain does NOT output anything.
