=head1 NAME

Devel::Hide - Forces the unavailability of specified Perl modules (for testing)


=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Devel::Hide qw(Module/ToHide.pm);
    require Module::ToHide; # fails 

    use Devel::Hide qw(Test::Pod Test::Pod::Coverage);
    require Test::More; # ok
    use Test::Pod 1.18; # fails

Other common usage patterns:

    $ perl -MDevel::Hide=Module::ToHide Makefile.PL

    bash$ PERL5OPT=MDevel::Hide
    bash$ DEVEL_HIDE_PM='Module::Which Test::Pod'
    bash$ export PERL5OPT DEVEL_HIDE_PM
    bash$ perl Makefile.PL

outputs (like blib)

    Devel::Hide hides Module::Which, Test::Pod, etc.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Given a list of Perl modules/filenames, this module makes
C<require> and C<use> statements fail (no matter the
specified files/modules are installed or not).

They I<die> with a message like:

    Can't locate Module/ToHide.pm (hidden)

The original intent of this module is to allow Perl developers
to test for alternative behavior when some modules are not
available. In a Perl installation, where many modules are
already installed, there is a chance to screw things up
because you take for granted things that may not be there
in other machines. 

For example, to test if your distribution does the right thing
when a module is missing, you can do

    perl -MDevel::Hide=Test::Pod Makefile.PL

forcing C<Test::Pod> to not be found (whether it is installed
or not).

Another use case is to force a module which can choose between
two requisites to use the one which is not the default.
For example, C<XML::Simple> needs a parser module and may use
C<XML::Parser> or C<XML::SAX> (preferring the latter).
If you have both of them installed, it will always try C<XML::SAX>.
But you can say:

    perl -MDevel::Hide=XML::SAX script_which_uses_xml_simple.pl

NOTE. This module does not use L<Carp>. As said before,
denial I<dies>.

This module is pretty trivial. It uses a code reference
in @INC to get rid of specific modules during require -
denying they can be successfully loaded and stopping
the search before they have a chance to be found.

There are three alternative ways to include modules in
the hidden list: 

=over 4

=item * 

setting @Devel::Hide::HIDDEN

=item * 

environment variable DEVEL_HIDE_PM

=item * 

import()

=back

Optionally, you can propagate the list of hidden modules to your
process' child processes, by passing '-from:children' as the
first option when you use() this module. This works by populating
C<PERL5OPT>, and is incompatible with Taint mode, as
explained in L<perlrun>.


=head2 CAVEATS

There is some interaction between C<lib> and this module

    use Devel::Hide qw(Module/ToHide.pm);
    use lib qw(my_lib);

In this case, 'my_lib' enters the include path before
the Devel::Hide hook and if F<Module/ToHide.pm> is found
in 'my_lib', it succeeds.

Also for modules that were loaded before Devel::Hide,
C<require> and C<use> succeeds.

Since 0.0005, Devel::Hide warns about modules already loaded.

    $ perl -MDevel::Hide=Devel::Hide -e ''
    Devel::Hide: Too late to hide Devel/Hide.pm


=head2 EXPORTS

Nothing is exported.


=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

DEVEL_HIDE_PM - if defined, the list of modules is added
   to the list of hidden modules

DEVEL_HIDE_VERBOSE - on by default. If off, supresses
   the initial message which shows the list of hidden modules
   in effect

PERL5OPT - used if you specify '-from:children'
