Test2::C...Negatable(3) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Test2::C...Negatable(3)

NAME
     Test2::Compare::Negatable - Poor mans 'role' for compare objects that can
     be negated.

DESCRIPTION
     Using this package inside an Test2::Compare::Base subclass will overload
     "!$obj" and import clone_negate() and toggle_negate().

WHY?
     Until perl 5.18 the 'fallback' parameter to overload would not be inher-
     ited, so we cannot use inheritance for the behavior we actually want. This
     module works around the problem by emulating the "use overload" call we
     want for each consumer class.

ATTRIBUTES
     $bool = $obj->negate
     $obj->set_negate($bool)
     $attr = NEGATE()
	 The NEGATE attribute will be added via Test2::Util::HashBase.

METHODS
     $clone = $obj->clone_negate()
	 Create a shallow copy of the object, and call "toggle_negate" on it.

     $obj->toggle_negate()
	 Toggle the negate attribute. If the attribute was on it will now be
	 off, if it was off it will now be on.
