Re^2: How to use a private version of a published module?by MARKWIN (Novice) |

I had not come accross this module before.
It looks good, but doesn't solve the ultimate problem as far as I can see.
My test code does not call Rest::Client, which is what I need to mock. Rest::Client is used by the module under test, not the test code. To test the module under test I do not expect to change it! I tweak the INC path so that when the module under test loads Rest::Client it gets my mock version. I already have a very good mock, one that does exactly what I need and works well. I want the innocent and unchanged use line in the module under test to load the same-named mock module rather than the real one. The problem I have is that I cannot include the mock module in my module due to a name space violation, after all I did not write Rest::Client so I cannot publish it, even as a sub module. How can I publish this module without violating the real owners name space? Is there a way to include a module as source code without exporting that module?
