Oh, I really like that, but it still causes an issue for me. You see,
a lot of what I do is stuff like this:
my $CLASS;
BEGIN {
$CLASS = 'Customer';
use_ok $CLASS or die;
}
can_ok $CLASS, 'new';
ok my $cust = $CLASS->new, '... and we can call it';
isa_ok $cust, $CLASS, '... and the object it returns';
This means that if I need to refactor classes to better namespaces, I
merely change the "$CLASS =" line. With the lovely ok.pm module, I
still have the following clunky construct:
my $CLASS;
BEGIN {
$CLASS = 'Customer';
}
use ok $CLASS or die;
can_ok $CLASS, 'new';
ok my $cust = $CLASS->new, '... and we can call it';
isa_ok $cust, $CLASS, '... and the object it returns';
Those BEGIN blocks really annoy the hell out of me at times :(
Cheers,
Ovid
