=head1 NAME

Sub::Override - Perl extension for easily overriding subroutines

=head1 VERSION

0.09

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Sub::Override;

  sub foo { 'original sub' };
  print foo(); # prints 'original sub'

  my $override = Sub::Override->new( foo => sub { 'overridden sub' } );
  print foo(); # prints 'overridden sub'
  $override->restore;
  print foo(); # prints 'original sub'

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 The Problem

Sometimes subroutines need to be overridden.  In fact, your author does this
constantly for tests.  Particularly when testing, using a Mock Object can be
overkill when all you want to do is override one tiny, little function.

Overriding a subroutine is often done with syntax similar to the following.

 {
   local *Some::sub = sub {'some behavior'};
   # do something
 }
 # original subroutine behavior restored

This has a few problems.

 {
   local *Get::some_feild = { 'some behavior' };
   # do something
 }

In the above example, not only have we probably misspelled the subroutine name,
but even if their had been a subroutine with that name, we haven't overridden
it.  These two bugs can be subtle to detect.

Further, if we're attempting to localize the effect by placing this code in a
block, the entire construct is cumbersome.

Hook::LexWrap also allows us to override sub behavior, but I can never remember
the exact syntax.

=head2 An easier way to replace subroutines

Instead, C<Sub::Override> allows the programmer to simply name the sub to
replace and to supply a sub to replace it with.

  my $override = Sub::Override->new('Some::sub', sub {'new data'});

  # which is equivalent to:
  my $override = Sub::Override->new;
  $override->replace('Some::sub', sub { 'new data' });

You can replace multiple subroutines, if needed:

  $override->replace('Some::sub1', sub { 'new data1' });
  $override->replace('Some::sub2', sub { 'new data2' });
  $override->replace('Some::sub3', sub { 'new data3' });

If replacing the subroutine succeeds, the object is returned.  This allows the
programmer to chain the calls, if this style of programming is preferred:

  $override->replace('Some::sub1', sub { 'new data1' })
           ->replace('Some::sub2', sub { 'new data2' })
           ->replace('Some::sub3', sub { 'new data3' });

If the subroutine has a prototype, the new subroutine should be declared with
same prototype as original one:

  $override->replace('Some::sub_with_proto', sub ($$) { ($_[0], $_ [1]) });

A subroutine may be replaced as many times as desired.  This is most useful
when testing how code behaves with multiple conditions.

  $override->replace('Some::thing', sub { 0 });
  is($object->foo, 'wibble', 'wibble is returned if Some::thing is false');

  $override->replace('Some::thing', sub { 1 });
  is($object->foo, 'puppies', 'puppies are returned if Some::thing is true');

=head2 Restoring subroutines

If the object falls out of scope, the original subs are restored.  However, if
you need to restore a subroutine early, just use the restore method:

  my $override = Sub::Override->new('Some::sub', sub {'new data'});
  # do stuff
  $override->restore;

Which is somewhat equivalent to:

  {
    my $override = Sub::Override->new('Some::sub', sub {'new data'});
    # do stuff
  }

If you have override more than one subroutine with an override object, you
will have to explicitly name the subroutine you wish to restore:

  $override->restore('This::sub');

Note C<restore()> will always restore the original behavior of the subroutine
no matter how many times you have overridden it.

=head2 Which package is the subroutine in?

Ordinarily, you want to fully qualify the subroutine by including the package
name.  However, failure to fully qualify the subroutine name will assume the
current package.

  package Foo;
  use Sub::Override;
  sub foo { 23 };
  my $override = Sub::Override->new( foo => sub { 42 } ); # assumes Foo::foo
  print foo(); # prints 42
  $override->restore;
  print foo(); # prints 23

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

  my $sub = Sub::Override->new;
  my $sub = Sub::Override->new($sub_name, $sub_ref);

Creates a new C<Sub::Override> instance.  Optionally, you may override a 
subroutine while creating a new object.

=head2 replace

 $sub->replace($sub_name, $sub_body);

Temporarily replaces a subroutine with another subroutine.  Returns the
instance, so chaining the method is allowed:

 $sub->replace($sub_name, $sub_body)
     ->replace($another_sub, $another_body);

This method will C<croak> is the subroutine to be replaced does not exist.

=head2 override

 my $sub = Sub::Override->new;
 $sub->override($sub_name, $sub_body);

C<override> is an alternate name for C<replace>.  They are the same method.

=cut

=head2 restore

 $sub->restore($sub_name);

Restores the previous behavior of the subroutine.  This will happen
automatically if the C<Sub::Override> object falls out of scope.

=cut

=head1 EXPORT

None by default.

=head1 BUGS

Probably.  Tell me about 'em.
