Re: Test::MockModule question

Don't use indirect object syntax. Not only is it buggy, I have personally found myself making other typos when I do that. In this case:

new Test->MockModule('Bar');

Should be:

  Test::MockModule->new('Bar');
  # or if you really like the buggy indirect object syntax:
  new Test::MockModule 'Bar';

I typically don't either, but I was just following the script's documentation. I figure that the module author would probably know their module the best. :) thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply]

Aack! You're right. It is documented that way. That's a shame. I thought all serious Perl hackers knew indirect object syntax was bad form by now and the author of that module is a good enough hacker that he should know better :) Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course.	[reply]
