Apache...RunPerl(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Apache::TestRunPerl β€” the one that runs your mod_perl-requiring test suite, bestie πŸ’–

(this lives in the perl manual pages, section 3pm, user-contributed perl docs, iykyk)


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Apache::TestRunPerl;
Apache::TestRunPerl->new->run(@ARGV);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two lines and you're slaying 🫢


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Okay so listen πŸ’… β€” the Apache::TestRunPerl package is the girl in charge. She controls the configuration and running of the test suite. Like, all of it. Setup? Her. Running? Also her. She's the main character ✨

She's a subclass of Apache::TestRun, which means she inherited the whole toolkit from her parent and then added her own little mod_perl-specific flair πŸŽ€

⚠️ Important bestie: use her only when you need to run mod_perl tests. Not for everything. She's a specialist, not a generalist, no cap.

And for all the deets on the API that's actually available to you? Go read the Apache::TestRun manpage. That's where the API tea is β˜• The Apache::TestRun manpage is literally the reference for the available API, so if you're looking for a method, that's the girl to ask.
