# Test2::Compare::Meta(3pm)

Check library for meta-checks

## NAME

Test2::Compare::Meta - Check library for meta-checks

## DESCRIPTION

Sometimes in a deep comparison you want to run extra checks against an item down the chain. This library allows you to write a check that verifies several attributes of an item.

## DEFINED CHECKS

- blessed

  Lets you check that an item is blessed, and that it is blessed into the expected class.

- reftype

  Lets you check the reftype of the item.

- isa

  Lets you check if the item is an instance of the expected class.

- this

  Lets you check the item itself.

- size

  Lets you check the size of the item. For an arrayref this is the number of elements. For a hashref this is the number of keys. For everything else this is undef.
