What do you think about adding some semantics for the debug printing
during 'make test'. So users can visually tell warnings from errors, and
errors from notice statements.
so we can use:
mpt_warn("this is a warning");
mpt_error("this is an arror");
mpt_notice("this is a notice");
(mpt stands for mod_perl_test) and
sub mpt_error { print "!!!: ", join "\n", @_}
sub mpt_warn { print "***: ", join "\n", @_}
sub mpt_notice { print "---: ", join "\n", @_}
or similar semantics, and the functions could handle the wrapping too (and
thus appending the right preamble to the beginning of every line).
or may be we want to change the debug prints only for warn/error ones, so
the normal printing will stay as it is now.
we can also overload these subs with a set of subs which use Curses (for
those who have it installed) and have the output colorized like
/usr/bin/colorgcc does. The latter uses Term::ANSIColor which seems to
come with the core perl (at least 5.6.0, not sure about earlier versions).
finally we could ucfirst() the beginning of sentences :)
