NAME ExtUtils::TBone - a "skeleton" for writing "t/*.t" test files. SYNOPSIS Include a copy of this module in your t directory (as t/ExtUtils/, and then write your t/*.t files like this: use lib "./t"; # to pick up a ExtUtils::TBone use ExtUtils::TBone; # Make a tester... here are 3 different alternatives: my $T = typical ExtUtils::TBone; # standard log my $T = new ExtUtils::TBone; # no log my $T = new ExtUtils::TBone "testout/Foo.tlog"; # explicit log # Begin testing, and expect 3 tests in all: $T->begin(3); # expect 3 tests $T->msg("Something for the log file"); # message for the log # Run some tests: $T->ok($this); # test 1: no real info logged $T->ok($that, # test 2: logs a comment "Is that ok, or isn't it?"); $T->ok(($this eq $that), # test 3: logs comment + vars "Do they match?", This => $this, That => $that); # That last one could have also been written... $T->ok_eq($this, $that); # does 'eq' and logs operands $T->ok_eqnum($this, $that); # does '==' and logs operands # End testing: $T->end; DESCRIPTION This module is intended for folks who release CPAN modules with "t/*.t" tests. It makes it easy for you to output syntactically correct test- output while at the same time logging all test activity to a log file. Hopefully, bug reports which include the contents of this file will be easier for you to investigate. AUTHOR Eryq; President, Zero G Inc. /
