#!/usr/bin/perl =pod This script allows you to run the test suite against old versions of prerequisite modules, or absent prerequisites. It is able to simulate the absense of a particular set of Perl modules, even if they are installed on your system. To run the test suite multiple times in a row, each tie multiple times (each with a different selection of absent modules), run: $ perl misc/prove_prereqs.pl t/*.t To add a new set of absent modules, make a subdir under t/skip_lib, and add a dummy perl module for every module you want to skip. This file should be empty. For instance if you wanted to simulate the absense of Text::Template and Text::TagTemplate, you would do the following: $ mkdir t/prereq_scenarios/old_autorunmode $ mkdir t/prereq_scenarios/old_cgiapp Finally, add this directory to the @Scenarios array below. =cut my @Scenarios = qw( t/prereq_scenarios/old_autorunmode-0.08 t/prereq_scenarios/old_autorunmode-0.09 t/prereq_scenarios/old_autorunmode-0.10 t/prereq_scenarios/old_cgiapp t/prereq_scenarios/normal ); ################################################################### use strict; use File::Find; unless (@ARGV) { die "Usage: $0 [args to prove]\n"; } my %Skip_Modules; my $errors; foreach my $skip_lib_dir (@Scenarios) { if (!-d $skip_lib_dir) { $errors = 1; warn "Skip lib dir does not exist: $skip_lib_dir\n"; next; } my @modules; find(sub { return unless -f; my $dir = "$File::Find::dir/$_"; $dir =~ s/^\Q$skip_lib_dir\E//; $dir =~ s/\.pm$//; $dir =~ s{^/}{}; $dir =~ s{/}{::}g; push @modules, $dir; }, $skip_lib_dir); $Skip_Modules{$skip_lib_dir} = \@modules; } die "Terminating." if $errors; foreach my $skip_lib_dir (@Scenarios) { my $modules = join ', ', sort @{ $Skip_Modules{$skip_lib_dir} }; $modules ||= 'none'; print "\n##############################################################\n"; print "Running tests.
