# Test::Requires(3pm)

Checks to see if the module can be loaded

## NAME

Test::Requires - Checks to see if the module can be loaded

## SYNOPSIS

```
    # in your Makefile.PL
    use inc::Module::Install;
    test_requires 'Test::Requires';
    # in your test
    use Test::More tests => 10;
    use Test::Requires {
        'HTTP::MobileAttribute' => 0.01, # skip all if HTTP::MobileAttribute doesn't installed
    };
    isa_ok HTTP::MobileAttribute->new, 'HTTP::MobileAttribute::NonMobile';
    # or
    use Test::More tests => 10;
    use Test::Requires qw(
        HTTP::MobileAttribute
    );
    isa_ok HTTP::MobileAttribute->new, 'HTTP::MobileAttribute::NonMobile';
    # or
    use Test::More tests => 10;
    use Test::Requires;
    test_requires 'Some::Optional::Test::Required::Modules';
    isa_ok HTTP::MobileAttribute->new, 'HTTP::MobileAttribute::NonMobile';
```

## DESCRIPTION

Test::Requires checks to see if the module can be loaded.

If this fails rather than failing tests this **skips all tests**.

Test::Requires can also be used to require a minimum version of Perl:

```
    use Test::Requires "5.010";  # quoting is necessary!!

    # or
    use Test::Requires "v5.10";
```

## ENVIRONMENT
