Hmm, interesting. My parser handled that just fine. :P The point isn't that the output comes before or after the test result. The point is that the parser should not merely discard the comments. The harness is free to discard those comments, which, in fact, is what Test::Harness does. What your test did show me is that my t/10-regression.t is tied too tightly to Test::Simple output. As a result, my tests need to be reworked to not be tied to a specific implementation. Don't get me wrong, I understand your points about not relying on this output and I'm not trying to be difficult! The reason I have a sense of urgency about this is twofold: 1. I'm working on this *now* and I don't want to lose momentum. 2. So many people have contacted me to let me know they want to use TAPx::Parser. There's a crying need for better testing tools and I think we're on the verge of getting them. That being said, your parents are in town. You shouldn't be reading this list right now :) Cheers, Ovid -- Buy the book -- http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlhks/ Perl and CGI -- http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/cgi_course/
