Invoked with perl -wc, both test and module say 'syntax OK'. This seems so simple. I'm apparently missing something pretty obvious here. Any ideas what that might be?

Here is what I've got:

1..2
ok 1 - use YMD::WWW::DB;
not ok 2 - YMD::WWW::DB->can(...)
#   Failed test 'YMD::WWW::DB->can(...)'
#   at t/08-db.t line 14.
#     YMD::WWW::DB->can('We can access the ->connect() method') failed
# Testing YMD::WWW::DB 0.01, Perl 5.008008, /var/usr/bin/perl
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.

So says my simple test file. The module it is supposed to be exercising says this:

package YMD::WWW::DB;

use warnings;
use strict;
use DBI;
use Data::Dumper;

sub connect {
  my $self = shift;
  my $db = shift;

  # print STDERR "->connect() says that \$db is: " . Dumper(\$db);

  my $db_driver = $db->{'db_driver'};
  my $host_name = $db->{'db_host'};
  my $db_name = $db->{'db_name'};
  my $USER = $db->{'db_user'};
  my $PASSWORD = $db->{'db_pw'};

  my $dsn = "DBI:$db_driver:host=$host_name;database=$db_name";
  if($db->{'db_ssl'}){ $dsn .= ';sslmode=require'; }

  # print $dsn,"\n";

   return (DBI->connect($dsn,$USER,$PASSWORD,
      {PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 1}));
}

1; # End of YMD::WWW::DB

and the test itself reads:

#!perl -T

use Test::More tests => 2;

use lib qw{/home/hesco/sandbox/YMD-WWW-SamplePhoneCall/lib};

BEGIN {
        use_ok( 'YMD::WWW::DB' );
}

use YMD::WWW::DB;

can_ok('YMD::WWW::DB','connect','We can access the ->connect() method'
+);

diag( "Testing YMD::WWW::DB $YMD::WWW::DB::VERSION, Perl $], $^X" );

I would think that my module->can('method'), even if I haven't yet built the config hash to pass it on its interface. Any clues what I might be missing here, please?

UPDATE:

Thanks folks, that was exactly it. I found and corrected three other bugs in this code simply preparing this post, but it never occurred to me to perldoc Test::More for the can_ok function. I just assumed I knew how to use that one. Thanks again. I'll get back to work on this project after getting some groceries in the house.
