Well, that's sorta like what I was thinking.. The problem is that I can't make something like mytime() and replace throughout the code because A> waaaay too many to replace, and B> it's an internal codebase change. The testing system has to fake the time externally to validate the code, otherwise it would be modified again when I take out the test..

My first thought was to try using something like this:

package FakeTime;
sub main::time { 12345 }
1;

That didn't work. Neither did "sub ::time { 12345 }", I thought that might work as a second resort. Didn't.
