# Helper functions for test programs written in Perl.
#
# This module provides a collection of helper functions used by test programs
# written in Perl.  This is a general collection of functions that can be used
# by both C packages with Automake and by stand-alone Perl modules.  See
# Test::RRA::Automake for additional functions specifically for C Automake
# distributions.

=head1 NAME

Test::RRA - Support functions for Perl tests

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Test::RRA
      qw(skip_unless_author skip_unless_automated use_prereq);

    # Skip this test unless author tests are requested.
    skip_unless_author('Coding style tests');

    # Skip this test unless doing automated or release testing.
    skip_unless_automated('POD syntax tests');

    # Load modules, skipping the test if they're not available.
    use_prereq('Perl6::Slurp', 'slurp');
    use_prereq('Test::Script::Run', '0.04');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module collects utility functions that are useful for Perl test scripts.
It assumes Russ Allbery's Perl module layout and test conventions and will
only be useful for other people if they use the same conventions.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

None of these functions are imported by default.  The ones used by a script
should be explicitly imported.

=over 4

=item skip_unless_author(DESC)

Checks whether AUTHOR_TESTING is set in the environment and skips the whole
test (by calling C<plan skip_all> from Test::More) if it is not.  DESC is a
description of the tests being skipped.  A space and C<only run for author>
will be appended to it and used as the skip reason.

=item skip_unless_automated(DESC)

Checks whether AUTHOR_TESTING, AUTOMATED_TESTING, or RELEASE_TESTING are set
in the environment and skips the whole test (by calling C<plan skip_all> from
Test::More) if they are not.  This should be used by tests that should not run
during end-user installs of the module, but which should run as part of CPAN
smoke testing and release testing.

DESC is a description of the tests being skipped.  A space and C<normally
skipped> will be appended to it and used as the skip reason.

=item use_prereq(MODULE[, VERSION][, IMPORT ...])

Attempts to load MODULE with the given VERSION and import arguments.  If this
fails for any reason, the test will be skipped (by calling C<plan skip_all>
from Test::More) with a skip reason saying that MODULE is required for the
test.

VERSION will be passed to C<use> as a version bareword if it looks like a
version number.  The remaining IMPORT arguments will be passed as the value of
an array.
