What's the guy's name on second? That's right.
if($bad_thing_make_test_no_good) { BAIL_OUT("...")}
That's great and dandy. Everyone should do it early and often. It's a
perfect way for the test to tell the harness that something has gone
very, very wrong. So, yeah I think we're in agreement there.
Geoffrey asked why we're having this discussion, apparently he was not
realizing that some people were requesting something like:
package Test::More;
sub ok {
...
if($ENV{SOME_SILLY_HARNESSY_VARIABLE_ABOUT_STOPPING}) {
...
...
Which shouldn't ever and hopefully ain't not never gonna happen. That
sort of thing makes chromatic go on about spaceships, which is never
good.
