Do any unit test/mock object frameworks exist for doing module testing?

Thanks

Depends whether you mean unit testing or functional testing.  I ended  
up writing a custom unit-test harness, which had to mock out great  
big chunks of apr and apr-util so I could control their actions.  It  
is brutally ugly but was worth the investment.  For functional  
testing, I've had several recommendations for Apache::Test, which  
allows you to write tests in Perl (I would have used it if there  
hadn't been a pre-existing test driver for the specific protocol I  
was implementing).  -Tim
