NAME
Test2::Tools::Ref - 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. None of the functions in this module do deep comparisons.
SYNOPSIS

'HASH'
,
'Must be a hash'
)
ref_is(
$refa
,

,
"Same exact reference"
);

$refa
,
$refb
,
"Not the same exact reference"
);
