NAME
Module::Loaded - mark modules as loaded or unloaded
SYNOPSIS
use Module::Loaded; $bool = mark_as_loaded(Foo); # Foo.pm is now marked as loaded $loc = is_loaded(Foo); # location of Foo.pm set to the # loaders location eval “require Foo”; # is now a no-op $bool = mark_as_unloaded(Foo); # Foo.pm no longer marked as loaded eval “require Foo”; # Will try to find Foo.pm in @INC
DESCRIPTION
When testing applications, often you find yourself needing to provide
functionality in your test environment that would usually be provided by
external modules. Rather than munging the %INC by hand to mark these
external modules as loaded, so they are not attempted to be loaded by
perl, this module offers you a very simple way to mark modules as loaded
and/or unloaded.
FUNCTIONS
$bool = mark_as_loaded( PACKAGE );
Marks the package as loaded to perl. PACKAGE can be a bareword or
string.
If the module is already loaded, mark_as_loaded will carp about this
and tell you from where the PACKAGE has been loaded already.
$bool = mark_as_unloaded( PACKAGE );
Marks the package as unloaded to perl, which is the exact opposite of
mark_as_loaded. PACKAGE can be a bareword or string.
If the module is already unloaded, mark_as_unloaded will carp about
this and tell you the PACKAGE has been unloaded already.
$loc = is_loaded( PACKAGE );
is_loaded tells you if PACKAGE has been marked as loaded yet.
PACKAGE can be a bareword or string.
It returns falls if PACKAGE has not been loaded yet and the location
from where it is said to be loaded on success.
