This is mostly useful for testing modules that have a fallback when a certain dependency module is not installed. .SS EXPORT .IX Subsection "EXPORT" None. All magic is done via \f(CW\*(C`use Test::Without::Module LIST\*(C'\fR and \&\f(CW\*(C`no Test::Without::Module LIST\*(C'\fR. .SS Test::Without::Module::get_forbidden_list .IX Subsection "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. .SH "ONE LINER" .IX Header "ONE LINER" A neat trick for using this module from the command line was mentioned to me by NUFFIN and by Jerrad Pierce: .PP .Vb 1 \& perl \-MTest::Without::Module=Some::Module \-w \-Iblib/lib t/SomeModule.t .Ve .PP That way, you can easily see how your module or test file behaves when a certain module is unavailable. .SH BUGS .IX Header "BUGS" .IP \(bu 4 There is no lexical scoping .SH CREDITS .IX Header "CREDITS" Much improvement must be thanked to Aristotle from PerlMonks, he pointed me to a much less convoluted way to fake a module at . .PP 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. .PP 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. .SH AUTHOR .IX Header "AUTHOR" Copyright (c) 2003\-2024 Max Maischein, .SH LICENSE .IX Header "LICENSE" This module is released under the same terms as Perl itself. .SH REPOSITORY .IX Header "REPOSITORY" The public repository of this module is . .SH SUPPORT .IX Header "SUPPORT" The public support forum of this module is . .SH "BUG TRACKER" .IX Header "BUG TRACKER" Please report bugs in this module via the RT CPAN bug queue at or via mail to test\-without\-module\-Bugs@rt.cpan.org. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" Devel::Hide, Acme::Intraweb, PAR, perlfunc
