Test::use::ok(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::use::ok(3) NAME Test::use::ok - Alternative to Test::More::use_ok SYNOPSIS use ok 'Some::Module'; DESCRIPTION According to the Test::More documentation, it is recommended to run use_ok() inside a "BEGIN" block, so functions are exported at compile- time and prototypes are properly honored. That is, instead of writing this: use_ok( 'Some::Module' ); use_ok( 'Other::Module' ); One should write this: BEGIN { use_ok( 'Some::Module' ); } BEGIN { use_ok( 'Other::Module' ); } However, people often either forget to add "BEGIN", or mistakenly group "use_ok" with other tests in a single "BEGIN" block, which can create subtle differences in execution order. With this module, simply change all "use_ok" in test scripts to "use ok", and they will be executed at "BEGIN" time. The explicit space after "use" makes it clear that this is a single compile-time action.
