# Test2::Compare::Pattern(3perl)

Use a pattern to validate values in a deep comparison.

## NAME

Test2::Compare::Pattern - Use a pattern to validate values in a deep comparison.

## DESCRIPTION

This allows you to use a regex to validate a value in a deep comparison. Sometimes a value just needs to look right, it may not need to be exact. An example is a memory address that might change from run to run.
