# NAME
Test::Without::Module - Test fallback behaviour in absence of modules
# SYNOPSIS
use Test::Without::Module qw( My::Module );
# Now, loading of My::Module fails :
eval { require My::Module; };
warn $@ if $@;
# Now it works again
eval q{ no Test::Without::Module qw( My::Module ) };
eval { require My::Module; };
print "Found My::Module" unless $@;
# DESCRIPTION
This module allows you to deliberately hide modules from a program
even though they are installed. This is mostly useful for testing modules
that have a fallback when a certain dependency module is not installed.
## EXPORT
None. All magic is done via `use Test::Without::Module LIST` and
`no Test::Without::Module LIST`.
## 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.
# 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.
# BUGS
- There is no lexical scoping
# CREDITS
Much improvement must be thanked to Aristotle from PerlMonks, he pointed me
to a much less convoluted way to fake a module at
[https://perlmonks.org?node=192635](https://perlmonks.org?node=192635).
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.
