Summary : Forces the unavailability of specified Perl modules (for testing)
|
Description :
Given a list of Perl modules/filenames, this module makes \'require\' and \'use\' statements fail (no matter the specified files/modules are installed or not).
They _die_ with a message like:
Can\'t locate Module/ToHide.pm (hidden)
The original intent of this module is to allow Perl developers to test for alternative behavior when some modules are not available. In a Perl installation, where many modules are already installed, there is a chance to screw things up because you take for granted things that may not be there in other machines.
For example, to test if your distribution does the right thing when a module is missing, you can do
perl -MDevel::Hide=Test::Pod Makefile.PL
forcing \'Test::Pod\' to not be found (whether it is installed or not).
Another use case is to force a module which can choose between two requisites to use the one which is not the default. For example, \'XML::Simple\' needs a parser module and may use \'XML::Parser\' or \'XML::SAX\' (preferring the latter). If you have both of them installed, it will always try \'XML::SAX\'. But you can say:
perl -MDevel::Hide=XML::SAX script_which_uses_xml_simple.pl
NOTE. This module does not use the Carp manpage. As said before, denial _dies_.
This module is pretty trivial. It uses a code reference in AATTINC to get rid of specific modules during require - denying they can be successfully loaded and stopping the search before they have a chance to be found.
There are three alternative ways to include modules in the hidden list:
* *
setting AATTDevel::Hide::HIDDEN
* *
environment variable DEVEL_HIDE_PM
* *
import()
Optionally, you can propagate the list of hidden modules to your process\' child processes, by passing \'-from:children\' as the first option when you use() this module. This works by populating \'PERL5OPT\', and is incompatible with Taint mode, as explained in the perlrun manpage.
