Instead, if you could obtain a known value during the runtime of a testcase will make your results predictable. . The Test::MockDateTime module allows faking a given date and time for the runtime of a subsequent code block. By default the on keyword is exported into the namespace of the test file. The date to get mocked must be in a format that is recognized by DateTime::Format::DateParse.
