Description : Alternative to Test::More::use_ok
According to the Test::More documentation, it is recommended to run use_ok()
inside a BEGIN block, so functions are exported at compile-time and
prototypes are properly honored.
.
However, people often either forget to add BEGIN, or mistakenly group use_ok
with other tests in a single BEGIN block, which can create subtle differences
in execution order.
.
With this module, simply change all use_ok in test scripts to use ok, and
they will be executed at BEGIN time. The explicit space after use makes it
clear that this is a single compile-time action.
NOTE: this module is needed to upload new upstream version of libcatalyst-perl
