Test::use::ok - Alternative to Test::More::use_ok
This document describes version 0.01 of Test::use::ok, released November 29, 2005.
use ok( 'Some::Module' );
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.
use_ok()
BEGIN
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.
use_ok
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.
use ok
