NAME

Test::Requires - Checks to see if the module can be loaded

SYNOPSIS

    # in your Makefile.PL
    use inc::Module::Install;
    test_requires 'Test::Requires';

    # in your test
    use Test::More tests => 10;
    use Test::Requires {
        'HTTP::MobileAttribute' => 0.01, # skip all if HTTP::MobileAttribute doesn't installed
    };
    isa_ok HTTP::MobileAttribute->new, 'HTTP::MobileAttribute::NonMobile';

    # or
    use Test::More tests => 10;
    use Test::Requires qw( 
        HTTP::MobileAttribute
    );
    isa_ok HTTP::MobileAttribute->new, 'HTTP::MobileAttribute::NonMobile';

    # or
    use Test::More tests => 10;
    use Test::Requires;
    test_requires 'Some::Optional::Test::Required::Modules';
    isa_ok HTTP::MobileAttribute->new, 'HTTP::MobileAttribute::NonMobile';

DESCRIPTION

Test::Requires checks to see if the module can be loaded.

If this fails rather than failing tests this skips all tests.

Test::Requires can also be used to require a minimum version of Perl:

    use Test::Requires "5.010";  # quoting is necessary!!
    
    # or
    use Test::Requires "v5.10";

ENVIRONMENT

If the "RELEASE_TESTING" environment variable is true, then instead of skipping tests, Test::Requires bails out.
