use Scalar::Util qw( refaddr );Rather than continuing to copypaste it around some more, can anyone suggest a standard Test:: module that contains it? Failing that, if it's really honestly the case that nobody has yet felt it necessary to provide one, could someone suggest a suitable module to contain it?
sub identical
{
my ( $got, $expected, $name ) = @_;
my $got_addr = refaddr $got;
my $exp_addr = refaddr $expected;
ok( !defined $got_addr && !defined $exp_addr ||
$got_addr == $exp_addr,
$name ) or
diag( "Expected $got and $expected to refer to the same object" );
}
This behaviour cannot be implemented using, say, is( $obj, $expected ) because that will attempt to compare numerical equality, which of course will fail for any object that overloads numberification or numeric comparison operators.
