=head1 NAME
XT::Util - utility functions for test scripts
=head1 SYNOPSIS
In xt/02pod_coverage.t:
use Test::More;
use Test::Pod::Coverage;
use XT::Util;
my @modules = @{ __CONFIG__->{modules} || [] };
pod_coverage_ok($_, "$_ is covered")
foreach @modules;
done_testing(scalar @modules);
In xt/02pod_coverage.config:
{ "modules": ["Local::MyModule1", "Local::MyModule2"] }
=head1 DESCRIPTION
These utilities are aimed at making test cases easier to reuse.
They do not directly help you write test cases or output TAP.
=head2 C<< __CONFIG__($testfile) >>
Where C<< $testfile >> is a filename like "foo.t", will strip ".t" from
the end of the file name, add ".config", slurp the contents and parse them
as JSON, returning the result.
If C<< $testfile >> is omitted, then uses the caller's filename.
By moving project-specific information (e.g. file names, package names,
etc) into config files, the test file itself can be shared between projects.
If no appropriate config file is found, an empty hashref is returned. This
is by design.
