Simpler thing to do would be to create t/lib/fake/Term/ANSIColor.pm
which is something like:
package Term::ANSIColor;
die, die, die, die, die "Can't locate Term/ANSIColor.pm in \@INC\n";
and then when you want to simulate not having Term::ANSIColor in the
tests you can do:
unshift @INC, 't/lib/fake';
...
and any unshielded require/use of Term::ANSIColor will explode
convincingly.
