Two big new things in the testing modules.
First, "use Test::More no_plan;" now works! What this means is you
can write:
use Test::More no_plan;
ok($foo == $bar, 'foo is bar');
ok($right ne $wrong, 'morality works');
That's it. You no longer need to declare how many tests are going to
be run.
As a result of that is the second thing, Pod::Tests is actually
useful! Using this new feature you can simply throw tests into your
code and not have to worry about counting them up. pod2test now uses
Test::More by default for your embedded tests.
The new versions are:
Test::Simple 0.07
Test::More 0.05
Pod::Tests 0.03
and are all on the way up to CPAN as I type. If they haven't made it
to your mirror yet, they can always be gotten from
