NAME
       Test::Compile::Internal - Test whether your perl files compile.


SYNOPSIS
           use Test::Compile::Internal;
           my $test = Test::Compile::Internal->new();
           $test->all_files_ok();
           $test->done_testing();


DESCRIPTION
       "Test::Compile::Internal" is an object oriented tool for testing whether your perl files compile.

       It is primarily to provide the inner workings of "Test::Compile", but it can also be used directly to
       test a CPAN distribution.


METHODS
       "new()"
           A basic constructor, nothing special.

       "all_files_ok(@dirs)"
           Checks all the perl files it can find for compilation errors.

           If @dirs is defined then it is taken as an array of directories to be searched for perl files,
           otherwise it searches some default locations - see "all_pm_files()" and "all_pl_files()".

       "verbose($verbose)"
           An accessor to get/set the verbose flag.  If "verbose" is set, you can get some extra diagnostics
           when compilation fails.

           Verbose is set on by default.

       "all_pm_files(@dirs)"
           Returns a list of all the perl module files - that is any files ending in .pm in @dirs and in
           directories below. If @dirs is undefined, it searches blib if blib exists, or else lib.

           Skips any files in "CVS" or ".svn" directories.

           The order of the files returned is machine-dependent. If you want them sorted, you'll have to sort
           them yourself.

       "all_pl_files(@dirs)"
           Returns a list of all the perl script files - that is, any files in @dirs that either have a .pl
           extension, or have no extension and have a perl shebang line.

           If @dirs is undefined, it searches script if script exists, or else bin if bin exists.

           Skips any files in "CVS" or ".svn" directories.

           The order of the files returned is machine-dependent. If you want them sorted, you'll have to sort
           them yourself.

       "pl_file_compiles($file)"
           Returns true if $file compiles as a perl script.

       "pm_file_compiles($file)"
           Returns true if $file compiles as a perl module.


TEST METHODS
       "Test::Compile::Internal" encapsulates a "Test::Builder" object, and provides access to some of its
       methods.

       "done_testing()"
           Declares that you are done testing, no more tests will be run after this point.

       "ok($test, $name)"
           Your basic test. Pass if $test is true, fail if $test is false. Just like "Test::Simple"'s "ok()".

       "plan($count)"
           Defines how many tests you plan to run.

       "exported_to($caller)"
           Tells "Test::Builder" what package you exported your functions to.  I am not sure why you would want
           to do that, or whether it would do you any good.

       "diag(@msgs)"
           Prints out the given @msgs. Like print, arguments are simply appended together.

           Output will be indented and marked with a # so as not to interfere with test output. A newline will
           be put on the end if there isn't one already.

           We encourage using this rather than calling print directly.

       "skip($reason)"
           Skips the current test, reporting the $reason.

       "skip_all($reason)"
           Skips all the tests, using the given $reason. Exits immediately with 0.
