Test2::Tools::Tiny(3perl)

Test2::Tools::Tiny3perl

Tiny set of tools for unfortunate souls who cannot use test2::suite.

Overview

You should really look at Test2::Suite. This package is some very basic essential tools implemented using Test2. This exists only so that Test2 and other tools required by Test2::Suite can be tested. This is the package Test2 uses to test itself.

USE Test2::Suite INSTEAD

Use Test2::Suite if at all possible.
