Test::Plan 0.03

Test::Plan is a Perl module to add some intelligence to your test plan.

SYNOPSIS

use Test::More;
use Test::Plan;

plan tests => 2, need_module('Foo::Bar');

# ... do something that requires Foo::Bar in your test environment...

ok($foo, 'this is Test::More::ok()');

Test::Plan provides a convenient way of scheduling tests (or not) when the test environment has complex needs. it includes an alternate plan() function that is Test::Builder compliant, which means Test::Plan can be used alongside Test::More and other popular Test:: modules. it also includes a few helper functions specifically designed to be used with plan() to make test planning that much easier.

in reality, there is nothing you can't do with this module that cannot be accomplished via the traditional skip_all. however, the syntax and convenient helper functions may appeal to some folks. in fact, if you are familiar with Apache-Test then you should feel right at home - the plan() syntax and associated helper functions are idential in almost all respects to what Apache::Test provides.

so yes, there is lots of code duplication between this module and Apache::Test. but I like this syntax so much I wanted to share it with the non-Apache inspired world.
