package Test_Package;

use strict;

sub testing {
   print "okay";
};

1;

use Test::More tests => 1;
use Test_Package;

ok( Test_Package->testing() eq 'okay', 'Testing okay');

When I run this script, it says that the test fails.

This is a stripped down script and package. Basically, I want to test the method Test_Package->testing() so that I know what it prints on the screen is the same as what I would expect.

Unfortunately, the output of the subroutine goes to the standard output and so I am not sure how to capture it so that I can test it.

Also, I do not wish to change anything in the package, but I can do any modification on the script.

Thanks in advance.

• 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).
