True, but advantage of using Test::Most is that not only do you not have to add the "or die" to every test which might potentially fail, but you get the most common testing functionality as determined by analyzing what testing modules people were actually using (by running code against my minicpan installation). At this point, I would suggest that Test::More might be for code that you put on the CPAN (assuming you don't want to force dependencies on people), but I'd never want to do without Test::Most for personal code.
