it can be big or small, depending on what you need it to be :) > I use Apache::FakeRequest for debugging (while developing) > rather than for testing. you could do both - test-driven development. personally, I don't know how I ever got along without Apache-Test, for both development and debugging. how I wrote applications before seemed insane when compared to using the tools we now have available. > The advantage is that it's very > simple/small/handy and does exactly what I need: a fake > Apache object replacement. sometimes what we think we need it's what we really need ;) I'd encourage you (and everyone) to give Apache-Test a try. to kickstart the adventure, after installing Apache-Test from CPAN you can try plugging in your module to this skeleton http://perl.apache.org/~geoff/Apache-Test-skeleton-mp1.tar.gz basically, typing 'make test' will start the server in a pristine environment and run through your test scripts. and even if you don't (yet) have test script, you can just 't/TEST -start-httpd' to start apache and keep it running while you hit against it with a browser. yeah, that's pretty much the same as hitting your ordinary dev box, except that you can isolate the config much easier with Apache-Test, making it possible to add self-contained tests later. anyway, HTH --Geoff -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
