I have seen the page : http://perl-qa.hexten.net/wiki/index.php/Why_can%27t_a_program_count_its_own_tests
And I still don't understand, why can't a perl program count its test and then when all the tests are done write something like: I ran 45976347563873456 tests and 587643873645 of then failed and 234598634875634 of them passed. (dont mind that the numbers dont add up) Then you dont really need to "count" the amount of tests before hand, you "count" them as you go, and will only know the final amount of tests at the very end. -- evgeny
