+Imagine you want to test this module:

 ```javascript
-var rewire = require("rewire");
+// lib/myModule.js
+
+// With rewire you can change all these variables
+var fs = require("fs"),
+    http = require("http"),
+    someOtherVar = "hi",
+    myPrivateVar = 1;
+    
+function readSomethingFromFileSystem(cb) {
+    // But no scoped variables
+    var path;

+    console.log("Reading from file system ..."):
+    fs.readFile(path, "utf8", cb);
+}
+
+exports.readSomethingFromFileSystem = readSomethingFromFileSystem;

+Now within your test module:

+var rewire = require("rewire");
 
 // rewire acts exactly like require.
 var myModule = rewire("../lib/myModule.js");
