Generic usage
use Test::More;
use Test::If 'Test::Something', [ tests => N ];
# Is equal to
use Test::More;
eval q{ use Test::Something; 1 } or plan skip_all => 'Module Test::Something required for this test';
plan tests => N;
use Test::More;
use Test::If sub { $ENV{TEST_AUTHOR} }, [ tests => N ];
# Is equal to
use Test::More;
$ENV{TEST_AUTHOR} or plan skip_all => "Test condition not met";
plan tests => N;
You can also combine options and it is allowed to omit plan options, if it is run by loaded module or you
want to load it manually
For example common "pod-coverage.t":
use Test::More;
use Test::If
sub { $ENV{TEST_AUTHOR} }, # Checked first $ENV{TEST_AUTHOR}, otherwise skip
'Test::Pod::Coverage 1.08', # Use Test::Pod::Coverage of at least version 1.08
'Pod::Coverage 0.18', # And want Pod::Coverage at least of version 0.18
;
all_pod_coverage_ok();
If some of conditions will not be met, test will be skipped.
