danmcb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using a module and passing a parameter to it in the use statement. The module is part of a Catalyst test harness. But the import routine never gets called.

When I do the same thing in a simple module (i.e. not part of Catalyst stuff) it works fine.

My code:

package test_setup; use strict; use warnings; our $data_file; sub import { my ($package, $df) = @_; # we never get here $data_file = $df if defined $df; } # etc 1;

And the test file:

use strict; use warnings; use t::test_setup qw/ file_name /; use Test::More tests => 6; #etc

Any idea what could cause this?
