NAME

       Test2::Tools::Defer - Write tests that get executed at a later time

DESCRIPTION

       Sometimes you need to test things BEFORE loading the necessary functions. This module lets you do that.
       You can write tests, and then have them run later, after "Test2" is loaded. You tell it what test
       function to run, and what arguments to give it.  The function name and arguments will be stored to be
       executed later. When ready, run do_def() to kick them off once the functions are defined.

SYNOPSIS

           use strict;
           use warnings;

           use Test2::Tools::Defer;

           BEGIN {
               def ok => (1, 'pass');
               def is => ('foo', 'foo', 'runs is');
               ...
           }

           use Test2::Tools::Basic;

           do_def(); # Run the tests

           # Declare some more tests to run later:
           def ok => (1, "another pass");
           ...

           do_def(); # run the new tests

           done_testing;

EXPORTS

       def function => @args;
           This  will  store  the function name, and the arguments to be run later. Note that each package has a
           separate store of tests to run.

       do_def()
           This will run all the stored tests. It will also reset the list to be empty so you can add more tests
           to run even later.
