Module::Install::ExtraUsersContributed Perl DocuModule::Install::ExtraTests(3)NAMEModule::Install::ExtraTests - contextual tests that the harness can
ignore
VERSION
0.001
COMMANDS
This plugin adds one Module::Install command:
extra_tests
extra_tests;
This declares that the test files found in the directory ./xt should be
run only in certain instances:
./xt/author - run when the tests are being run in an author's working copy
./xt/smoke - run when the dist is being smoked (AUTOMATED_TESTING=1)
./xt/release - run during "make disttest"
These directories are recurisvely scanned for *.t files. If any
directories or files exist in ./xt that are not recognized, the
Makefile.PL will die.
Achtung! This is pretty scary, experimental code, mostly because it
relies on the pretty scary, non-experimental-but-seriously-sketchy
underlying customization system for ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I may remove
this warning when I've decided that this is stable enough, but until
then:

AUTHOR TESTS
"Is this being run by an author?" is determined internally by
Module::Install, but at the time of the writing of this version it's
determined by the existence of a directory called .author in ./inc.
(On VMS, it's _author.) This directory is created when
Module::Install's Makefile.PL is run in a directory where no ./inc
directory exists.
