If you mean to abort the running of all further tests and test files, the
function you want is BAIL_OUT() which was added to Test::More in 0.60_01.
Its a very simple function and you can read about it here.
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Harness/lib/Test/Harness/TAP.pod#Bail_out!
And if you're using an earlier version of Test::More that doesn't have
BAIL_OUT() then you can just print the magic string directly in your test.
Something like:
use_ok('Foo::Bar') or print "Bail out! Couldn't load Foo::Bar";
