Re: Testing CPAN module that requires credentials

but this approach wouldn't work for the actual release

Sure it would, as long as its conditional :)

Make sure you run your author tests before make dist and uploading

Always test things that don't require credentials

If user is brave and provides credentials, run the tests that need credentials, otherwise skip these particular tests

Or you can mock (fake) these credentials-needing tests instead of skipping outright or running them live

Thank you for the various tips for the CPAN first-timer. Seems like making the credential-tests conditional is the way to go here. I'll also check out Test::Kwalitee and Test::XT as well.	[reply]
