Hi Monks! I'm working with Test::Class and have ran into an issue where mocked objects and classes prevent the real modules from being loaded in subsequent test classes. Currently, our test driver is a script that searches for all test classes, loads them, and runs Test::Class->runtests. I'm sure that we could work with the script and have it load a single test class at a time or something fancy like that; however, I was trying to avoid it. Instead, we have been trying to monkey around with the symbol table to force the modules to reload. Is there a way to make this work? (Here is my contrived example) 
package X;

use base qw(Test::Class);
use Test::More;
use Test::MockClass;

sub setup : Test(setup) {
  my ($self) = @_;
  my $mockClass = Test::MockClass->new('DateTime');
  $mockClass->addMethod('now', sub {'XXXX'});
}

sub test : Test {
  my ($self) = @_;
  ok(DateTime->now);
  diag(DateTime->now);
}

1;

package Y;

use base qw(Test::Class);
use Test::More;
use DateTime;

sub test : Test {
  my ($self) = @_;
  ok(DateTime->now);
  diag(DateTime->now);
}

1;

package Z;

use Test::Class;

Test::Class->runtests;

1;
