-Description: Skip tests when modules not available
- (no description was found)
+Description: module to skip tests when modules are not available
+ Test::Needs allows one to skip test scripts if modules are not available. The
+ requested modules will be loaded, and optionally have their versions checked.
+ If the module is missing, the test script will be skipped. Modules that are
+ found but fail to compile will exit with an error rather than skip.
  .
- This description was automagically extracted from the module by dh-make-perl.
+ If used in a subtest, the rest of the subtest will be skipped.
+ .
+ If the "RELEASE_TESTING" environment variable is set, the tests will
+ fail rather than skip. Subtests will be aborted, but the test script
+ will continue running after that point.
