testing modperl2 handler

water has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

What's the best way to test methods/subs within an apache mod-perl2 handler *offline* -- that is, not running under mod-perl2? Is Test::MockObject the way to go (passing in a mocked $r object), or is there better test modules for faking Apache2?

Thanks!

Test it online, with the Apache::Test framework. There's a nice article about it on perl.com. Offline testing would take a lot of work to fake, and is probably not worth it.	[reply]

Better to ask on the mailing list. I haven't seen this error before myself.	[reply]

The Apache::Test list http://perl.apache.org/maillist/test-dev.html Are you developing lib.pm or is it simply used?	[reply]
