パッケージ: libdevel-hide-perl (0.0009-1)

module for forcing the unavailability of specified Perl modules (for testing)

Given a list of Perl modules/filenames, Devel::Hide makes require and use statements fail (no matter the specified files/modules are installed or not).

They die with a message like:

Can't locate Module/ToHide.pm (hidden)

The original intent of Devel::Hide is to allow Perl developers to test for alternative behavior when some modules are not available. In a Perl installation, where many modules are already installed, there is a chance to screw things up because you take for granted things that may not be there in other machines.
