Re^2: STDIN typeglob

in thread STDIN typeglob

if something is difficult to write tests for, maybe it's the interface that should change

It's not that it is difficult to write the tests, it is difficult to simulate the module being connected to the API when it is being tested and isn't connected to a live API.

You could perhaps use one of the various mocking modules to accomplish this. I often use Test::MockModule but there are plenty of others to choose from too (see for example this tutorial for Test::MockObject). 🦛	[reply]
