NAME

       Test::AutoLoader - a testing utility for autosplit/autoloaded modules.

SYNOPSIS

         use Test::AutoLoader;
         use Test::More tests => 3;

         use_ok("My::Module"); # from Test::More
         autoload_ok("My::Module","mysub","sub_two); # test only the listed subs
         autoload_ok("My::Module"); # tests all '.al' files found for the module

DESCRIPTION

       This single-purpose module attempts to eliminate uncaught syntax errors or other obvious
       goofs in subroutines that are autosplit, and hence not looked at by "perl -c Module.pm".
       Ideally, this module will become unnecessary as you reach full coverage of those
       subroutines in your unit tests.  Until that happy day, however, this should provide a
       quick and dirty backstop for embarrassing typos.

       Test::AutoLoader is built on Test::Builder, and should interoperate smoothly with other
       such modules (e.g. Test::Simple, Test::More).

EXPORT

   autoload_ok
       Very much like the 'use_ok' subroutine (see Test::More).  If passed only a module name, it
       will find all subroutine definitions in the "auto" directory and attempt to compile them.
       If passed a list of subroutine names, it will look for and attempt to compile those (and
       only those).  Any files that cannot be found (if specified directly), read, and compiled
       will be listed in the diagnostic output for the failed test.
