How about using
our instead of
my:
use strict;
require 'framework.pl';
$framework::date = "2001-12-05";
&framework::testcase1;
$framework::date = "2001-11-15";
&framework::testcase1;
------------------------------------------
package framework;
use strict;
our $date = "2001-11-12";
sub testcase1 { print "$date\n"; }
1; # don't forget to return true value!!
I don't use
our very much, but it seems applicable here.
Personally, i would opt for the more standard OO approach:
use strict;
require 'framework.pl';
my $fw = framework->new();
$fw->set_date("2001-12-05");
$fw->testcase1();
$fw->set_date("2001-11-15");
$fw->testcase1();
-----------------------------------------
package framework;
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = { date => '2001-11-12' };
return bless $self, $class;
}
sub set_date {
my ($self,$date) = @_;
shift->{'date'} = $date;
}
sub testcase1 {
print shift->{'date'}, "\n";
}
1;
Perhaps
Test::Simple or
Test::Unit
would be helpful to you as well.
