Sure there is; pass an object to the T::MO::E constructor. The object you get back is your mock object. Any methods you add to that object are mock objects for that specific method. Thus you need to use that object (the T::MO::E instance), not a new object.

Okay the scenario I have is that module X uses module FileHandle, in such a way that a single function X::f creates a FileHandle and writes to it all within one function. So I want one test script where FileHandle::open always fails, and one test script where FileHandle::open behaves normally but FileHandle::print always misbehaves. As far as I know I managed to get this working in the style I described above. How is one supposed to do that. If you are interested, you can see what I actually did in the latest version of Test::Regression.

Maybe what I really need to do is write a Test::FileHandle module. As far as I can see all FileHandle does is import various functions. So presumably Test::FileHandle would import mocked functions into the FileHandle name space. I am not sure I fully understand how one would go about this. Would be nice if this worked for glob style classes in general and even better if the print syntax worked naturally.
