Extremely flexible deep comparison

Edit Package perl-Test-Deep
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Deep/

If you don't know anything about automated testing in Perl then you should
probably read about Test::Simple and Test::More before preceding.
Test::Deep uses the Test::Builder framework.

Test::Deep gives you very flexible ways to check that the result you got is
the result you were expecting. At it's simplest it compares two structures
by going through each level, ensuring that the values match, that arrays
and hashes have the same elements and that references are blessed into the
correct class. It also handles circular data structures without getting
caught in an infinite loop.

Where it becomes more interesting is in allowing you to do something
besides simple exact comparisons. With strings, the 'eq' operator checks
that 2 strings are exactly equal but sometimes that's not what you want.
When you don't know exactly what the string should be but you do know some
things about how it should look, 'eq' is no good and you must use pattern
matching instead. Test::Deep provides pattern matching for complex data
structures

Test::Deep has *_a lot_* of exports. See the /EXPORTS manpage below.
