Skipping Tests

Let's assume we have a test for an HTML generator.

Let's also assume that if we have HTML::Lint, we want to lint the generated code.

require HTML::Lint;

my $lint = HTML::Lint->new;
isa_ok( $lint, 'HTML::Lint' );

$lint->parse( $some_html );
is( $lint->errors, 0, 'No errors found in HTML' );

Since HTML::Lint is optional, this test will fail if you don't have it.

• But it's not a real failure, else HTML::Lint isn't really optional.

• So the user shouldn't hear about it.
