There was no heuristics before, but running t/*.t (which will leave
alone subdirectories). But according to Ovid some run "recursive"
tests by default
and descend into t/ subdirectories, which is not perfect as chromatic
pointed. They should not do that without discrimination. They could
use some method to determine the full set of tests ( t/**/*.t ) minus
special tests (which could be found in meta-data), constructing a
file-set like:
<fileset dir="t">
<include name="**/*.t"/>
<exclude name="author/*.t"/>
</fileset>
That can be done with Ant. Why not do it with Perl?
