Test::Requires(3pm)

Usage

    # 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';

Overview

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";

Thanks to

    kazuho++ # some tricky stuff
    miyagawa++ # original code from t/TestPlagger.pm
    tomyhero++ # reported issue related older test::builder
    tobyink++ # documented that Test::Requires "5.010" works

Environment

If the "RELEASE_TESTING" environment variable is true, then instead of skipping tests, Test::Requires bails out.
