Thanks! This will have to wait until the end of the month, I've got

So basically you want a default name for a block of tests? I can do
that, basically by calling an ok() that's a wrapper around Test::ok()
and will watch for a default name being set.
I'm going to switch over to Test::More as the default testing module
next version anyway. This might break any existing embedded tests you
have (since Test::More::ok() behaves differently than Test::ok()).
Ummm... not sure how to ease that bit of pain.
Wait... how are you doing this at all? Pod::Tests doesn't support
multiple tests in a block yet.
