Well, the issue is that I would like to eliminate the warnings given by CPAN modules during testing. (not only mine, everyones) One way is that they all start to use T::NW in all their test scripts. That was my original idea by adding it as a metric to CPANTS. As it turns out people have all kinds of issues with T::NW. I am not sure if the technical issues are really correct or not and if you could fix them or not (see also the other thread about CPANTS). One thing I understand is that they don't want to be "forced" to use this specific solution. So I thought I'll look for a solution where someone (a test runner?) could check if there was any warning from the test. This is of course not the job of T::NW. regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://szabgab.com/blog.html Test Automation Tips http://szabgab.com/test_automation_tips.html
