NAME
    Test::Needs - Skip tests when modules not available

SYNOPSIS
      use Test::Needs 'Some::Module';

      # check module version
      use Test::Needs {
        'Some::Module' => '1.005',
      };

      # check later
      use Test::Needs;
      test_needs 'Some::Module';

      use Test::More;
      use Test::Needs;
      subtest 'my subtest' => sub {
        test_needs 'Some::Module';  # skips remainder of subtest
      };

      # check perl version
      use Test::Needs { perl => 5.020 };

DESCRIPTION
    Skip test scripts if modules are not available. The requested modules
    will be loaded, and optionally have their versions checked. If the
    module is missing, the test script will be skipped. Modules that are
    found but fail to compile will exit with an error rather than skip.

    If used in a subtest, the rest of the subtest will be skipped.

    If the "RELEASE_TESTING" environment variable is set, the tests will
    fail rather than skip. Subtests will be aborted, but the test script
    will continue running after that point.

EXPORTS
  test_needs
    Has the same interface as when using Test::Needs in a "use".

SEE ALSO
    Test::Requires
        A similar module, with some important differences. Test::Requires
        will act as a "use" statement (despite its name), calling the import
        sub. Under "RELEASE_TESTING", it will BAIL_OUT if a module fails to
        load rather than using a normal test fail. It also doesn't
        distinguish between missing modules and broken modules.
