Assuming the static analysis was correct, it would always produce the correct number thus would be equivalent to no_plan. For me, the purpose of the plan is not to detect failures that cause early exits - it can do that but the test harness also looks at exit codes etc. The purpose of the plan is to ensure that the test I just added really do run.
Great points, Fergal, thanks.
I am not terribly happy with plans as they currently exist, loops make them a bit of a pain, I'd really like to be able to have blocks with subplans etc to ease that but I'm not going to start on that again.
Test::Class helps a lot with this. Best, David
