This came up recently in a thread on Smolder where someone was trying to use a program that uses libtap written in C to do something similar. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=31652415&forum_id=49450 The answer basically comes down to use "prove" which is a command line utility that makes it easy to use Test::Harness and is installed when Test::Harness is installed. You have to mess with some environment vars to make it not use perl on your executable though. Something like this: HARNESS_PERL="" HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES="" prove test.exe I'm sure TAPx::Harness can make that much easier. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
