Another approach... (Score:1)

by Alias (5735)

I use a 01_compile.t in all my modules that contains all the load-integrity testing. So regular use_ok stuff, plugin loading, checking $VERSION values all match, does Exporter export what it is supposed to, etc...

That way I get a full report on load failures, and the rest of the tests can totally ignore the issue and load normally.

  That's what I've done with Test::Harness [cpan.org], but this isn't my code base.

    It's our code base, including yours, no?
    
    And I believe we already have a test file that loads all modules, but I'm not 100% certain (well, you shouldn't trust anything I say today anyway 8^)
