I've attached patches to add Test::MockModule to the module list and to add the "use_ok() or die" wording to the testing guidelines. I will confess that I was not entirely happy with my wording on the latter.

Re: New qa.perl.org updates
Two comments: I would add Test::MockModule to the test modules. I've stopped using my Sub::Override since I encountered this very useful tool. On the test guidelines, perhaps there should be an "or die " recommendation after "use_ok". Life gets pretty miserable if that fails but many subsequent tests pass and testa # 217 and beyond fail because the module didn't load properly. You can spend hours debugging because you didn't see the "use_ok" failure at the top. (I speak from extremely painful personal experience on this.)
