Test::Time(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Time(3pm)

NAME

Test::Time - Overrides the time() and sleep() core functions for testing

SYNOPSIS

    use Test::Time;
    # Freeze time
    my $now = time();
    # Increment internal time (returns immediately)
    sleep 1;
    # Return internal time incremented by 1
    my $then = time();

DESCRIPTION

Test::Time can be used to test modules that deal with time. Once you "use" this module, all references to "time", "localtime" and "sleep" will be internalized. You can set custom time by passing time => number after the "use" statement:

    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
