    Acme::CPANModules::HidingModules - Hiding modules

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.002 of
    Acme::CPANModules::HidingModules (from Perl distribution
    Acme-CPANModules-HidingModules), released on 2020-02-13.

DESCRIPTION
    Hiding modules.

    So you want to convince some Perl code that some modules that are
    installed, aren't (usually for testing purposes)? There are several ways
    to go about it, with different effects and level of convincing.

    Loading modules

    Most of the time, you just want to make certain modules not loadable (by
    "require" or "use"). To do this, you usually install a hook at the first
    element of @INC. The hooks would die when it receives a request to load
    a modules that you want to hide. Some modules that work this way
    include:

    lib::filter family, including lib::disallow. These family of modules
    support hiding (non-)core modules in addition to the specific ones you
    mentioned. It also supports recursive allowing (i.e. you want to allow
    Moo and all the modules that Moo loads, and all the modules that they
    load, and so on).

    Devel::Hide, which also plans to support hiding (non-)core modules.

    Test::Without::Module.

    Finding module's path

    Depending on which module you use to find a module's path, here are some
    patches you can load to fool the finder.

    Module::Path::Patch::Hide

    Module::Path::More::Patch::Hide

    Listing installed modules

    Depending on which module you use to find a module's path, here are some
    patches you can load to fool the lister.

    Module::List::Patch::Hide

    PERLANCAR::Module::List::Patch::Hide

    Module::List::Tiny::Patch::Hide

    Module::List::Wildcard::Patch::Hide

    Hard-core hiding

    To fool code that tries to find the module files themselves without
    using any module, i.e. by iterating @INC, you will need to actually
    (temporarily) rename the module files. LApp::pmrenamehide does this.

FAQ
  What are ways to use this module?
    Aside from reading it, you can install all the listed modules using
    cpanmodules:

        % cpanmodules ls-entries HidingModules | cpanm -n

    or Acme::CM::Get:

        % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=HidingModules -E'say $_-&gt;{module} for @{ $LIST-&gt;{entries} }' | cpanm -n

    This module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan
    related-mods" when it comes to finding related modules for the modules
    listed in this Acme::CPANModules module.
