Re: How to test exit?

[Sidhekin]

Test::Trap! Shameless plug, yes indeed. But it does what you want:

$ cat trap_exit.t
use warnings;
use strict;

use Test::More tests => 3;
use Test::Trap;

ok(require('test_exit.pl'), 'loaded');

trap{ killer() };
$trap->die_like( qr/hasta la vista baby/, q{Expected killer to die} );

trap{ exiter() };
$trap->exit_is( 42, q{Expected exiter to exit} );

$ prove -v test_exit.t
test_exit....1..3
ok 1 - loaded
ok 2 - Expected killer to die
ok 3 - Expected exiter to exit
ok
All tests successful.
