NAME

       Test::Pod::No404s - Checks POD for http 404 links

SYNOPSIS

               #!/usr/bin/perl
               use strict; use warnings;

               use Test::More;

               eval "use Test::Pod::No404s";
               if ( $@ ) {
                       plan skip_all => 'Test::Pod::No404s required for testing POD';
               } else {
                       all_pod_files_ok();
               }

ABSTRACT

       Using this test module will check your POD for any http 404 links.

DESCRIPTION

       This module looks for any http(s) links in your POD and verifies that they will not return
       a 404. It uses LWP::UserAgent for the heavy lifting, and simply lets you know if it failed
       to retrieve the document. More specifically, it uses $response->is_error as the "test."

       Normally, you wouldn't want this test to be run during end-user installation because they
       might have no internet! It is HIGHLY recommended that this be used only for module
       authors' RELEASE_TESTING phase. To do that, just modify the synopsis to add an env check
       :)

Methods

   all_pod_files_ok( [ @files ] )
       This function is what you will usually run. It automatically finds any POD in your
       distribution and runs checks on them.

       Accepts an optional argument: an array of files to check. By default it checks all POD
       files it can find in the distribution. Every file it finds is passed to the "pod_file_ok"
       function.

   pod_file_ok( FILENAME, [ TESTNAME ] )
       "pod_file_ok()" will okay the test if there is no http(s) links present in the POD or if
       all links are not an error. Furthermore, if the POD was malformed as reported by
       Pod::Simple, the test will fail and not attempt to check the links.

       When it fails, "pod_file_ok()" will show any failing links as diagnostics.

       The optional second argument TESTNAME is the name of the test.  If it is omitted,
       "pod_file_ok()" chooses a default test name "404 test for FILENAME".

EXPORT

       Automatically exports the two subs.
