NAME

7       http 404 links
8

VERSION

10         This document describes v0.02 of Test::Pod::No404s - released November 01, 2014 as part of Test-Pod-No404s.
11

SYNOPSIS

13               #!/usr/bin/perl
14               use strict; use warnings;
15
16               use Test::More;
17
18               eval "use Test::Pod::No404s";
19               if ( $@ ) {
20                       plan skip_all => 'Test::Pod::No404s required for testing POD';
21               } else {
22                       all_pod_files_ok();
23               }
24

DESCRIPTION

26       This module looks for any http(s) links in your POD and verifies that
27       they will not return a 404. It uses LWP::UserAgent for the heavy
28       lifting, and simply lets you know if it failed to retrieve the
29       document. More specifically, it uses $response->is_error as the "test."
30
31       This module does NOT check "pod" or "man" links like "L<Test::Pod>" in
32       your pod. For that, please check out Test::Pod::LinkCheck.
33
34       Normally, you wouldn't want this test to be run during end-user
35       installation because they might have no internet! It is HIGHLY
36       recommended that this be used only for module authors' RELEASE_TESTING
37       phase. To do that, just modify the synopsis to add an env check :)
38

METHODS

40   pod_file_ok
41       "pod_file_ok()" will okay the test if there is no http(s) links present
42       in the POD or if all links are not an error. Furthermore, if the POD
43       was malformed as reported by Pod::Simple, the test will fail and not
44       attempt to check the links.
45
46       When it fails, "pod_file_ok()" will show any failing links as
47       diagnostics.
48
49       The optional second argument TESTNAME is the name of the test.  If it
50       is omitted, "pod_file_ok()" chooses a default test name "404 test for
51       FILENAME".
52
53   all_pod_files_ok
54       This function is what you will usually run. It automatically finds any
55       POD in your distribution and runs checks on them.
56
57       Accepts an optional argument: an array of files to check. By default it
58       checks all POD files it can find in the distribution. Every file it
59       finds is passed to the "pod_file_ok" function.
60

EXPORT

62       Automatically exports the two subs.
