NAME

Text::Pipe::Tester - Common text filter API

SYNOPSIS

    use Text::Pipe::Tester;
    pipe_ok('List::Grep', [ code => sub { $_ % 2 } ],
        [ 1 .. 10 ], [ 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ]);

DESCRIPTION

This is not a pipe segment; rather it exports a function that helps in testing pipes.

FUNCTIONS

"pipe_ok"

    pipe_ok($type, $options, $input, $expect, $name);

    pipe_ok('List::Grep', [ code => sub { $_ % 2 } ],
        [ 1 .. 10 ], [ 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ]);

Constructs a pipe segment of type $type using options $options. It then sends the $input through the pipe and checks that the pipe returns $output; the check is done with "is_deeply()" for array references. For the test name, $name is used if given, or $type if no name has been specified.

Text::Pipe::Tester inherits from Exporter.

The superclass Exporter defines these methods and functions:

    as_heavy(), export(), export_fail(), export_ok_tags(), export_tags(),
    export_to_level(), import(), require_version()
