.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a superclass for Test::Builder\-based modules. It provides a
handful of common functionality and a method of getting at the underlying
Test::Builder object.
.SS "Importing"
.IX Subsection "Importing"
Test::Builder::Module is a subclass of Exporter which means your
module is also a subclass of Exporter. \f(CW@EXPORT\fR, \f(CW@EXPORT_OK\fR, etc...
all act normally.
.PP
A few methods are provided to do the \f(CW\*(C`use Your::Module tests => 23\*(C'\fR part
for you.
.PP
\fIimport\fR
.IX Subsection "import"
.PP
Test::Builder::Module provides an \f(CW\*(C`import()\*(C'\fR method which acts in the
same basic way as Test::More's, setting the plan and controlling
exporting of functions and variables. This allows your module to set
the plan independent of Test::More.
.PP
All arguments passed to \f(CW\*(C`import()\*(C'\fR are passed onto
\&\f(CW\*(C`Your::Module\->builder\->plan()\*(C'\fR with the exception of
\&\f(CW\*(C`import =>[qw(things to import)]\*(C'\fR.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Your::Module import => [qw(this that)], tests => 23;
.Ve
.PP
says to import the functions \f(CW\*(C`this()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`that()\*(C'\fR as well as set the plan
to be 23 tests.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`import()\*(C'\fR also sets the \f(CW\*(C`exported_to()\*(C'\fR attribute of your builder to be
the caller of the \f(CW\*(C`import()\*(C'\fR function.
.PP
Additional behaviors can be added to your \f(CW\*(C`import()\*(C'\fR method by overriding
\&\f(CW\*(C`import_extra()\*(C'\fR.
.PP
\fIimport_extra\fR
.IX Subsection "import_extra"
.PP
.Vb 1
\& Your::Module\->import_extra(\e@import_args);
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`import_extra()\*(C'\fR is called by \f(CW\*(C`import()\*(C'\fR. It provides an opportunity for you
to add behaviors to your module based on its import list.
.PP
Any extra arguments which shouldn't be passed on to \f(CW\*(C`plan()\*(C'\fR should be
stripped off by this method.
.PP
See Test::More for an example of its use.
.PP
\&\fB\s-1NOTE\s0\fR This mechanism is \fI\s-1VERY\s0 \s-1ALPHA\s0 \s-1AND\s0 \s-1LIKELY\s0 \s-1TO\s0 \s-1CHANGE\s0\fR as it
feels like a bit of an ugly hack in its current form.
.SS "Builder"
.IX Subsection "Builder"
Test::Builder::Module provides some methods of getting at the underlying
Test::Builder object.
.PP
\fIbuilder\fR
.IX Subsection "builder"
.PP
.Vb 1
\& my $builder = Your::Class\->builder;
.Ve
.PP
This method returns the Test::Builder object associated with Your::Class.
It is not a constructor so you can call it as often as you like.
.PP
This is the preferred way to get the Test::Builder object. You should
\&\fInot\fR get it via \f(CW\*(C`Test::Builder\->new\*(C'\fR as was previously
recommended.
.PP
The object returned by \f(CW\*(C`builder()\*(C'\fR may change at runtime so you should
call \f(CW\*(C`builder()\*(C'\fR inside each function rather than store it in a global.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& sub ok {
\& my $builder = Your::Class\->builder;
\&
\& return $builder\->ok(@_);
