They I with a message like: Can't locate Module/ToHide.pm (hidden) The original intent of this module is to allow Perl developers to test for alternative behavior when some modules are not available. In a Perl installation, where many modules are already installed, there is a chance to screw things up because you take for granted things that may not be there in other machines. For example, to test if your distribution does the right thing when a module is missing, you can do perl -MDevel::Hide=Test::Pod Makefile.PL forcing C to not be found (whether it is installed or not). Another use case is to force a module which can choose between two requisites to use the one which is not the default. For example, C needs a parser module and may use C or C (preferring the latter). If you have both of them installed, it will always try C. But you can say: perl -MDevel::Hide=XML::SAX script_which_uses_xml_simple.pl NOTE. This module does not use L. As said before, denial I. This module is pretty trivial. It uses a code reference in @INC to get rid of specific modules during require - denying they can be successfully loaded and stopping the search before they have a chance to be found. There are three alternative ways to include modules in the hidden list: =over 4 =item * setting @Devel::Hide::HIDDEN =item * environment variable DEVEL_HIDE_PM =item * import() =back Optionally, you can propagate the list of hidden modules to your process' child processes, by passing '-from:children' as the first option when you use() this module. This works by populating C, and is incompatible with Taint mode, as explained in L. =head2 CAVEATS There is some interaction between C and this module use Devel::Hide qw(Module/ToHide.pm); use lib qw(my_lib); In this case, 'my_lib' enters the include path before the Devel::Hide hook and if F is found in 'my_lib', it succeeds. Also for modules that were loaded before Devel::Hide, C and C succeeds. Since 0.0005, Devel::Hide warns about modules already loaded. $ perl -MDevel::Hide=Devel::Hide -e '' Devel::Hide: Too late to hide Devel/Hide.pm =head2 EXPORTS Nothing is exported. =head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES DEVEL_HIDE_PM - if defined, the list of modules is added to the list of hidden modules DEVEL_HIDE_VERBOSE - on by default. If off, supresses the initial message which shows the list of hidden modules in effect PERL5OPT - used if you specify '-from:children' =head1 SEE ALSO L L =head1 BUGS Please report bugs via CPAN RT L. =head1 AUTHORS Adriano R.
