The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

  modid:       Test::Segment
  DSLIP:       adpOg
  description: Track and extract code segments for testing
  userid:      DCARVELL (David Carvell)
  chapterid:   3 (Development_Support)
  communities:

  similar:
    I'm not aware of any modules that do this. (That's why I wrote it.)

  rationale:

    I thought Test::Segment gives some hint as to what the module does
    and I've not found another namespace that conveys it. (Please feel
    free to correct me.)

    My approach facilitates the testing of hard-to-test code by
    allowing the user to extract code, eval it and examine the results.
    Of course the user will have to setup/fake whatever the code needs.
    The user specifies the code segments by line number ranges or
    labels. The segment specs can also store code to be inserted at
    specified points. When labels are used, the module tracks changes so
    that segments and code insertion points stay consistent.

    With the current emphasis on testing, I believe this could be a
    valuable tool, especially in situations involving older code-bases
    that were not written with testing in mind.
