Test::More with Parrot::Test would probably be good enough. For an example, take a look at: http://xrl.us/cy66 Except that in this case, it would just be something like: ############################## # to test $0 output_is(<<'CODE', <<'OUT', "Description."); "a string on which to test the pattern" =~ /(pattern)/ CODE pattern OUT - Joe
