After reading my copy of Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook, and these two articles, I started to tackle the newest test file:

use Test::More tests=>4;
use Test::MockObject;
use strict;

my $module='Games::QuizTaker';
my $TMO=Test::MockObject->new();

$TMO->fake_module($module => ('new'      =>sub{  },
                              'load'     =>sub{  },
                              'generate' =>sub{  },
                              'test'     =>sub{  }));
use_ok($module);
can_ok($module,'new');
my $gq=Games::QuizTaker->new(filename=>'t/testqa');

can_ok($module,'load');
$gq->load;

can_ok($module,'generate');
$gq->generate;

However, make test is saying its a no go...

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
