No. I would like to introspect and change my module or application and then run the unchanged tests again. (Updated the original post too with this clarification.)

    What about running the tests, then modifying the sub, then running again? Here's a quickly thrown together example (in this example I simply mock out the whole function) to see if this is more along the lines of what you're looking for:

    package Package; { sub perform { return $_[0] + $_[1]; } } package main; { use Mock::Sub; use Test::More; tests(); my $m = Mock::Sub->new; my $changed = $m->mock('Package::perform'); $changed->return_value($_[0] - $_[1]); tests(); done_testing(); sub tests { is Package::perform(5, 5), 10, "5 + 5 = 10"; } }

    Output:

    ok 1 - 5 + 5 = 10 not ok 2 - 5 + 5 = 10 # Failed test '5 + 5 = 10' # at pack.pl line 24. # got: '0' # expected: '10' 1..2 # Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.

    If this example is more along the lines you're after (modifying code on the fly), my Devel::Examine::Subs is designed to alter code within a file (so say you wanted to modify a single line in a single sub within a package, you could (then revert it back), and I could write a mock up example of what it may look like. But perhaps I'm way off here.
