Think I've figured it out.
If you stick your loop inside a BEGIN {} block I think you'll find that it
works as you expect.
The attribute handler in Test::Class is set to run as a CHECK block (the
default provided by Attribute::Handlers). Since you don't require the
module until runtime the handler gets confused.
I'm running A::H 0.78 - and in my case it just skips running the
handler... so no test methods get defined and nothing gets run.
I am guessing that you're running an earlier version of A::H and that's
why it's passing ANON as the symbol to the Test::Class handler, hence the
confusing error message.
Hopefully that makes some vague sort of sense!
Now I need to figure out if:
(a) this is a bug or a lack of documentation on my part
(b) if/how it can be fixed :-)
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Adrian
