No matter what TAP wants to call it, its just more information associated with the test. This might be a name, a description, an explaination, diagnostic info... and, of course, its hard to say when a description becomes a name and vice versa.

I originally tried that. It has the nice properties of not making the file and line number info jump around. But it doesn't look so hot when the description is short. # Failed test (/Users/schwern/tmp/during.t at line 6) # 'Is this that?' # got: '42' # expected: '23' > Should there be a way to turn on/off the description?

FWIW the description is only shown when running in a harness because otherwise you can see it in the "ok" line. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern ROCKS FALL!
