#NAME

Module::Loaded - mark modules as loaded or unloaded

#SYNOPSIS

use Module::Loaded;

$bool = mark_as_loaded('Foo');   # Foo.pm is now marked as loaded
$loc  = is_loaded('Foo');        # location of Foo.pm set to the
                                 # loaders location
eval "require 'Foo'";            # is now a no-op

$bool = mark_as_unloaded('Foo'); # Foo.pm no longer marked as loaded
eval "require 'Foo'";            # Will try to find Foo.pm in @INC

#DESCRIPTION

When testing applications, often you find yourself needing to provide functionality in your test environment that would usually be provided by external modules. Rather than munging the %INC by hand to mark these external modules as loaded, so they are not attempted to be loaded by perl, this module offers you a very simple way to mark modules as loaded and/or unloaded.
