Do you not have problems with tests dying? I may be dealing with
particularly hairy code at work, but our packages had (have?) tons of
tests which died in totally strange ways at non-obvious places. The big
benefit I find from this approach is essentially wrapping all test
code in something like:
my $cat = eval {
new_ok $cat, 'Cat';
ok($obj->alive, "cat is alive");
is($obj->age, 3, "cat is 3 years old");
$cat;
};
ok(!$@, "cat tests did not die");

I'd like to imagine that the benefits I get from this module are more
than just feeding my sweet tooth. I suppose time will tell ;)
