In a module I have just started to maintain there were 0 tests but there were several exampes with their expected output.
As I would like to keep the examples and I would like to have tests but I don't want to duplicate this code I added a test t/sample.t that would run each one of the example files and compare its output to the expected output. (system "code >out 2>err")... So far I have encountered only one problem with this, when I run ./Build testcover I don't get the coverage report from these example scripts. So what do you think about using examples as tests? How could I convince Devel::Cover to collect coverage information from these tests as well? Gabor ps. specifically I am talking about this module: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel/
