Re^2: load a module or another: Dumper or dd

My understanding is that OP wants to use Data::Dump if it's found on the system, and Data::Dumper if it isn't. I don't believe that this is a test situation that could be mocked out.

Yes that part (the fact that the OP wants to optionally `use` a module if present) is quite clear. What it is not is why he wants to mock the absence of that particular module in its current setup/environment! The only thing which I thought would make sense is for testing that optionally loading code logic: I assumed that the problem was testing the module absence, which it can be done having a subroutine which mocks the loading of a fantasy module, e.g.: `sub{ use Supercalifragilistichespiralidoso; 1 }`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
