NAME
Test::Synopsis - Test your SYNOPSIS code SYNOPSIS
# xt/synopsis.t (with Module::Install::AuthorTests) use Test::Synopsis; all_synopsis_ok(); # Or, run safe without Test::Synopsis use Test::More; eval "use Test::Synopsis"; plan skip_all => "Test::Synopsis required for testing" if $@; all_synopsis_ok(); DESCRIPTION
Test::Synopsis is an (author) test module to find .pm or .pod files under your lib directory and then make sure the example snippet code in your SYNOPSIS section passes the perl compile check. Note that this module only checks the perl syntax (by wrapping the code with "sub") and doesn't actually run the code. Suppose you have the following POD in your module. =head1 NAME Awesome::Template - My awesome template =head1 SYNOPSIS use Awesome::Template; my $template = Awesome::Template->new; $tempalte->render("template.at"); =head1 DESCRIPTION An user of your module would try copy-paste this synopsis code and find that this code doesn't compile because there's a typo in your variable name $tempalte. Test::Synopsis will catch that error before you ship it. VARIABLE DECLARATIONS
Sometimes you might want to put some undeclared variables in your synopsis, like: =head1 SYNOPSIS use Data::Dumper::Names; print Dumper($scalar, @array, \%hash); This assumes these variables like $scalar are defined elsewhere in module user's code, but Test::Synopsis, by default, will complain that these variables are not declared: Global symbol "$scalar" requires explicit package name at ... In this case, you can add the following POD sequence elsewhere in your POD: =for test_synopsis no strict 'vars' Or more explicitly, =for test_synopsis my($scalar, @array, %hash); Test::Synopsis will find these "=for" blocks and these statements are prepended before your SYNOPSIS code when being evaluated, so those variable name errors will go away, without adding unnecessary bits in SYNOPSIS which might confuse users.

NAME
Test::Requires - Checks to see if the module can be loaded SYNOPSIS
# in your Makefile.PL use inc::Module::Install; test_requires 'Test::Requires'; # in your test use Test::More tests => 10; use Test::Requires { 'HTTP::MobileAttribute' => 0.01, # skip all if HTTP::MobileAttribute doesn't installed }; isa_ok HTTP::MobileAttribute->new, 'HTTP::MobileAttribute::NonMobile'; # or use Test::More tests => 10; use Test::Requires qw( HTTP::MobileAttribute ); isa_ok HTTP::MobileAttribute->new, 'HTTP::MobileAttribute::NonMobile'; # or use Test::More tests => 10; use Test::Requires; test_requires 'Some::Optional::Test::Required::Modules'; isa_ok HTTP::MobileAttribute->new, 'HTTP::MobileAttribute::NonMobile'; DESCRIPTION
Test::Requires checks to see if the module can be loaded. If this fails rather than failing tests this skips all tests. Test::Requires can also be used to require a minimum version of Perl: use Test::Requires "5.010"; # quoting is necessary!! # or use Test::Requires "v5.10"; AUTHOR

If the "RELEASE_TESTING" environment variable is true, then instead of skipping tests, Test::Requires bails out. SEE ALSO
