The ever-vigilant mst overheard a conversation on the same topic, and jumped in. He pointed out that <code>Test::MockObject</code> (and everything using it) overrides <code>UNIVERSAL::isa</code> in a way that hides bugs. Because it can hide bugs, it is <strong>definitely not safe</strong> to use in a test suite, where you&rsquo;re trying to uncover bugs.</p> https://hashbang.ca/post/mocking-lwpuseragent Fri, 23 Sep 2011 23:41:00 -0400 https://hashbang.ca/post/mocking-lwpuseragent/ <p><strong>Important update:</strong> Don&rsquo;t follow this advice, follow <a href="https://hashbang.ca/post/mocking-lwpuseragent-properly">that</a> advice!</p> <p>chromatic mentioned how to use dependency injection in <a href="http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2011/08/youre-already-using-dependency-injection.html"><em>You&rsquo;re Already Using Dependency Injection</em></a>.
