NAME
Test::LongString - tests strings for equality
SYNOPSIS
use Test::More tests => 1;
use Test::LongString;
is_string('foobar','foobur');DESCRIPTION
This module provides a function is_string() basically equivalent to Test::More::is(), but that gives more verbose diagnostics in case of failure.
It reports only the 50 first characters of the compared strings in the failure message, in case of long strings, so this doesn't clutter the test's output. This threshold value can be changed by setting $Test::LongString::Max.
It reports the lengths of the strings that have been compared.
It reports the length of the common prefix of the strings.
