=head1 NAME
Sub::Override - Perl extension for easily overriding subroutines
=head1 VERSION
0.12
=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
frequently 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 there 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 Injecting a subroutine
If you want to inject a subroutine into a package, you can use the C<inject()>
method. This is identical to C<replace()>, except that it requires that the
subroutine does not exist:
  $override->inject('Some::sub', sub {'new data'});
This is useful if you want to add a subroutine to a package that doesn't
already have it.
If you attempt to inject a subroutine that already exists, an exception will be
thrown.
  $override->inject('Some::sub', sub {'new data'}); # works
  $override->inject('Some::sub', sub {'new data'}); # throws an exception
Calling C<restore()> or allowing the C<$override> to go out of scope will
remove the injected subroutine.
  $override->inject('Some::sub', sub {'new data'});
  $override->restore('Some::sub'); # removes the injected subroutine
=head2 Inheriting a subroutine
Similar to 'inject', 'inherit' will only allow you to create a new subroutine
on a child object that inherits the routine from the parent, and doesn't
exist in the child:
  package Parent;
  sub foo {}
  sub bar {}
  package Child;
  use parent 'Parent';
  sub foo {}
'Inherit' will allow you to set up a new 'Child::bar' subroutine since it is
inherited from Parent. Attempting to 'inherit' 'Child::foo' will result in an
exception being thrown since 'foo' already exists in Child. Similarly,
attempting to 'inherit' new subroutine 'something' in Child will also result
in an exception since it doesn't exist in Parent and won't be inherited by Child.
=head2 Wrapping a subroutine
There may be times when you want to 'conditionally' replace a subroutine - for
example, to override the original subroutine only if certain args are passed.
For this you can specify C<wrap> instead of C<replace>. C<wrap> is identical to
C<replace>, except the original subroutine is passed as the first arg to your
new subroutine. You can call the original sub via 'shift->(@_)':
  $override->wrap('Some::sub',
    sub {
      my ($old_sub, @args) = @_;
      return 1 if $args[0];
      return $old_sub->(@args);
    }
  );
=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 C<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 overridden 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> if 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.
=head2 inject
 $sub->inject($sub_name, $sub_body);
Temporarily injects a subroutine into a package.  Returns the instance, so
chaining the method is allowed:
 $sub->inject($sub_name, $sub_body)
     ->inject($another_sub, $another_body);
=head2 inherit
 $sub->inherit($sub_name, $sub_body);
Checks that the subroutine exists in a parent class, but not in the current
class, and injects it into the current class to inherit the parent's version.
=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.
=head2 wrap
 $sub->wrap($sub_name, $sub_body);
Temporarily wraps a subroutine with another subroutine. The original subroutine
is passed as the first arg to the new subroutine.
=head1 EXPORT
None by default.
=head1 CAVEATS
If you need to override the same sub several times do not create a new
C<Sub::Override> object, but instead always reuse the existing one and call
C<replace> on it. Creating a new object to override the same sub will result
in weird behavior.
 # Do not do this!
 my $sub_first = Sub::Override->new( 'Foo:bar' => sub { 'first' } );
 my $sub_second = Sub::Override->new( 'Foo::bar' => sub { 'second' } );
 # Do not do this either!
 my $sub = Sub::Override->new( 'Foo::bar' => sub { 'first' } );
 $sub = Sub::Override->new( 'Foo::bar' => sub { 'second' } );
Both of those usages could result in of your subs being lost, depending
on the order in which you restore them.
Instead, call C<replace> on the existing C<$sub>.
 my $sub = Sub::Override->new( 'Foo::bar' => sub { 'first' } );
 $sub->replace( 'Foo::bar' => sub { 'second' } );
=head1 BUGS
Probably.  Tell me about 'em.
