[...] Test::HTTP::LocalServer [...] substitute the base URI for accessing the modem to be a file:// URI instead.

T:HTTP::LocalServer seems to pretty much mirror what I'm doing. With a bit less hardcoded single-purpose, anyway.

I don't like the idea of going file:/// though, since that means I'd have to add an extra magic hook in the code to say "here, use this fake URL instead", which would defeat a lot of the purpose of running through the code path in the first place. It would still run the LWP bits, but the URL construction would be bypassed. Also doesn't give it the chance to double check that it properly errors on 404 as the test currently does either.

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.
