Need Help??

in reply to code duplicate in tests -- code or custom module only needed to test

Hi,

(I see # hide from CPAN indexer can some elaborate this?).

Suppose you end up doing as suggested and add a test module to your distro. Maybe you want to update your tests from time to time but not release a new version of the distro. You can push files to PAUSE and avoid having them indexed as a new version if you either:

Put a linebreak in your package declaration, like:
```
package
    Foo::Bar;
[download]
```
Use the no_index directive in your META.yml or META.json file.

For more, see https://github.com/andk/pause/blob/master/doc/operating-model.md section 3.5.

Hope this helps!

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
