My solution to this is: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Count/ It's not a perfect solution but it Works For Me.<tm> What I do is add comments in a small domain-specific language that allow me to count how many tests were added. These comments are usually placed close to the tests themselves, so they can be updated at the same time. Examples for such comments are: # TEST is ($mystring, "Hello", "String is Hello"); # TEST*3 for my $i (0 .. 2) { ok (....) } Regards, Shlomi Fish --------------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.shlomifish.org/ Chuck Norris wrote a complete Perl 6 implementation in a day but then destroyed all evidence with his bare hands, so no one will know his secrets.
