Stuff in t/op mostly can't use Test or Test::More because those modules rely on the features being tested. Most everything else can use Test::More. Barring any Unicode-related fiascos (of which I am proudly and blissfully unaware), they probably haven't been converted yet. My goal was to improve coverage so every piece had at least nominal tests that could be improved, not to improve every existing test. Other people have had different goals. (It feels pretty good to port the tests to a more maintainable framework.) -- c
