1NAME
2 Test::use::ok - Alternative to Test::More::use_ok
3
4SYNOPSIS
5 use ok( 'Some::Module' );
6
7DESCRIPTION
8 According to the Test::More documentation, it is recommended to run
9 "use_ok()" inside a "BEGIN" block, so functions are exported at
10 compile-time and prototypes are properly honored.
11
12 That is, instead of writing this:
13
14 use_ok( 'Some::Module' );
15 use_ok( 'Other::Module' );
16
17 One should write this:
18
19 BEGIN { use_ok( 'Some::Module' ); }
20 BEGIN { use_ok( 'Other::Module' ); }
21
22 However, people often either forget to add "BEGIN", or mistakenly group
23 "use_ok" with other tests in a single "BEGIN" block, which can create
24 subtle differences in execution order.
25
26 With this module, simply change all "use_ok" in test scripts to "use
27 ok", and they will be executed at "BEGIN" time. The explicit space after
28 "use" makes it clear that this is a single compile-time action.
