I am trying to write some testing code to mock Apache::Constants which is exporting some methods to the script. I know how to Mock a OO module, but not a module that is exporting just methods. This is the code I am mocking,

use Apache::Constants qw(OK DECLINED AUTH_REQUIRED);

my $status = some_method();
return $status if ($status != OK);

I have tried this but this is not working so is probalbly just wrong.

$INC{Apache/Constants.pm} = 1;
my $constants = Test::MockObject->new();
$constants->fake_module('Apache::Constants');
$constants->mock('OK', sub { return 1 } );

warn "OK is " . OK . "\n";

[download]

gives me "Undefined subroutine &Apache::Constants::OK called"

The reason I tried Test::MockObject is that the Apache::Constants is being used in the module that I am testing so I need to be able to export this mock object to that other module.
