From: David Nicol [EMAIL PROTECTED] Macrame 0.08 finally passes a variety of tests and has been uploaded. Please harangue it via rt.cpan.org. I'm missing the reason-for-being of the module it its docs. I read the whole documentation and the test script and I still don't get it. What is it supposed to be used for?

Yes, that was a bit more obvious. I must have removed a test
and then not forced it to run without that module loaded again.
plan eval { require Net::CIDR }
? tests= 6
: skip_all = 'failed to load Net::CIDR';
Then you don’t need to keep disparate counts in synch and as a
bonus you don’t need to wrap the whole enchilada in a `SKIP`
block either.
(`eval{require $foo}` can be used directly as a boolean because
`require` returns true on success and `eval` returns undef on
exception.)

Changing the topic somewhat, a really good module for pretending that various modules don't exist is Devel::Hide. The -from:children switch will even hide modules from child processes. Thanks for the tip! $ perl -MDevel::Hide=Net::CIDR -Iblib/lib t/10-Field-CIDR_List.t Devel::Hide hides Net/CIDR.pm 1..6 ok 1 # skip Skip: failed to load module Net::CIDR ok 2 # skip Skip: failed to load module Net::CIDR ok 3 # skip Skip: failed to load module Net::CIDR ok 4 # skip Skip: failed to load module Net::CIDR ok 5 # skip Skip: failed to load module Net::CIDR ok 6 # skip Skip: failed to load module Net::CIDR ok 7 # skip Skip: failed to load module Net::CIDR # Looks like you planned 6 tests but ran 1 extra. Yep. So I'm using Module::Install with recommends. Not sure if that does anything, but it would be handy to be able to automatically hide those when running make test. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
