This is mostly useful for testing modules that have a fallback when a certain dependency module is not installed. =head2 EXPORT None. All magic is done via C and C. =head2 Test::Without::Module::get_forbidden_list This function returns a reference to a copy of the current hash of forbidden modules or an empty hash if none are currently forbidden. This is convenient if you are testing and/or debugging this module. =cut =head1 ONE LINER A neat trick for using this module from the command line was mentioned to me by NUFFIN and by Jerrad Pierce: perl -MTest::Without::Module=Some::Module -w -Iblib/lib t/SomeModule.t That way, you can easily see how your module or test file behaves when a certain module is unavailable. =head1 BUGS =over 4 =item * There is no lexical scoping =back =head1 CREDITS Much improvement must be thanked to Aristotle from PerlMonks, he pointed me to a much less convoluted way to fake a module at L. I also discussed with him an even more elegant way of overriding CORE::GLOBAL::require, but the parsing of the overridden subroutine didn't work out the way I wanted it - CORE::require didn't recognize barewords as such anymore. NUFFIN and Jerrad Pierce pointed out the convenient use from the command line to interactively watch the behaviour of the test suite and module in absence of a module. =head1 AUTHOR Copyright (c) 2003-2014 Max Maischein, Ecorion@cpan.orgE =head1 LICENSE This module is released under the same terms as Perl itself. =head1 REPOSITORY The public repository of this module is L. =head1 SUPPORT The public support forum of this module is L. =head1 BUG TRACKER Please report bugs in this module via the RT CPAN bug queue at L or via mail to L. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L =cut __END__
