103 Test::Simple and Test::More have proven to be popular testing modules,
104 but they're not always flexible enough. Test::Builder provides the a
105 building block upon which to write your own test libraries I<which can
114 my $Test = Test::Builder->new;
116 Returns a Test::Builder object representing the current state of the
119 Since you only run one test per program C<new> always returns the same
120 Test::Builder object. No matter how many times you call new(), you're
121 getting the same object. This is called a singleton. This is done so that
122 multiple modules share such global information as the test counter and
123 where test output is going.
125 If you want a completely new Test::Builder object different from the
126 singleton, use C<create>.
130 my $Test = Test::Builder->new;
133 $Test ||= $class->create;
140 my $Test = Test::Builder->create;
142 Ok, so there can be more than one Test::Builder object and this is how
143 you get it. You might use this instead of C<new()> if you're testing
144 a Test::Builder based module, but otherwise you probably want C<new>.
146 B<NOTE>: the implementation is not complete. C<level>, for example, is
147 still shared amongst B<all> Test::Builder objects, even ones created using
148 this method. Also, the method name may change in the future.
155 my $self = bless {}, $class;
165 Reinitializes the Test::Builder singleton to its original state.
166 Mostly useful for tests run in persistent environments where the same
167 test might be run multiple times in the same process.

1160 Test::Builder's default output settings will not be affected.
1168 Prints out the given @msgs. Like C<print>, arguments are simply
1171 Normally, it uses the failure_output() handle, but if this is for a
1172 TODO test, the todo_output() handle is used.
1174 Output will be indented and marked with a # so as not to interfere
1175 with test output. A newline will be put on the end if there isn't one
1178 We encourage using this rather than calling print directly.
1180 Returns false. Why? Because diag() is often used in conjunction with
1181 a failing test (C<ok() || diag()>) it "passes through" the failure.

1506 name => name of the test (if any)
1507 type => type of test (if any, see below).
1508 reason => reason for the above (if any)
1511 'ok' is true if Test::Harness will consider the test to be a pass.
1513 'actual_ok' is a reflection of whether or not the test literally
1514 printed 'ok' or 'not ok'. This is for examining the result of 'todo'
1517 'name' is the name of the test.
1519 'type' indicates if it was a special test. Normal tests have a type
1520 of ''. Type can be one of the following:
1524 todo_skip see todo_skip()
1527 Sometimes the Test::Builder test counter is incremented without it
1528 printing any test output, for example, when current_test() is changed.
1529 In these cases, Test::Builder doesn't know the result of the test, so
1530 it's type is 'unkown'. These details for these tests are filled in.
1531 They are considered ok, but the name and actual_ok is left undef.
1533 For example "not ok 23 - hole count # TODO insufficient donuts" would
1534 result in this structure:
1536 $tests[22] = # 23 - 1, since arrays start from 0.
1537 { ok => 1, # logically, the test passed since it's todo
1538 actual_ok => 0, # in absolute terms, it failed

1556 todo() looks for a $TODO variable in your tests. If set, all tests
1557 will be considered 'todo' (see Test::More and Test::Harness for
1558 details). Returns the reason (ie. the value of $TODO) if running as
1559 todo tests, false otherwise.
1561 todo() is about finding the right package to look for $TODO in. It
1562 uses the exported_to() package to find it. If that's not set, it's
1563 pretty good at guessing the right package to look at based on $Level.
1565 Sometimes there is some confusion about where todo() should be looking
1566 for the $TODO variable. If you want to be sure, tell it explicitly

1794 If all your tests passed, Test::Builder will exit with zero (which is
1795 normal). If anything failed it will exit with how many failed. If
1796 you run less (or more) tests than you planned, the missing (or extras)
1797 will be considered failures. If no tests were ever run Test::Builder
1798 will throw a warning and exit with 255. If the test died, even after
1799 having successfully completed all its tests, it will still be
1800 considered a failure and will exit with 255.
1802 So the exit codes are...
1804 0 all tests successful
1805 255 test died or all passed but wrong # of tests run
1806 any other number how many failed (including missing or extras)
1808 If you fail more than 254 tests, it will be reported as 254.
1813 In perl 5.8.1 and later, Test::Builder is thread-safe. The test
1814 number is shared amongst all threads. This means if one thread sets
1815 the test number using current_test() they will all be effected.
1817 While versions earlier than 5.8.1 had threads they contain too many
1820 Test::Builder is only thread-aware if threads.pm is loaded I<before>
1825 CPAN can provide the best examples. Test::Simple, Test::More,
1826 Test::Exception and Test::Differences all use Test::Builder.
