in reply to changing object's methods at runtime

If you need to fake Apache request object for test purposes you may find it is much easier to use mock objects (i.e. Test::MockObject) instead of Apache::FakeRequest as you have more control over fake request object. See Automated software testing: emulation of interfaces using Test::MockObject for example.

Thanks Ilya

Actually, I started off with Test::MockObject to fake the request, but there was a lot of methods I needed to mock and that's a bit laborious. The other reason is that Apache::Request conveniently fills out all the Apache::Constants, eg, Apache::Contants::FORBIDDEN which otherwise need to be set manually as they're unavailable when running outside mod_perl.

But having tried it both ways now ;), there's really not much in it.
