.SH "NAME"
Test::Time \- Overrides the time() and sleep() core functions for testing
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&    use Test::Time;
\&
\&    # Freeze time
\&    my $now = time();
\&
\&    # Increment internal time (returns immediately)
\&    sleep 1;
\&
\&    # Return internal time incremented by 1
\&    my $then = time();
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Test::Time can be used to test modules that deal with time. Once you \f(CW\*(C`use\*(C'\fR this
module, all references to \f(CW\*(C`time\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`localtime\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`sleep\*(C'\fR will be internalized.
You can set custom time by passing time => number after the \f(CW\*(C`use\*(C'\fR statement:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    use Test::Time time => 1;
\&
\&    my $now = time;    # $now is equal to 1
\&    sleep 300;         # returns immediately, displaying a note
\&    my $then = time;   # $then equals to 301
