Apart from the ones that say "run away screaming?" ;-) Avoiding global variables is the main one, I'd guess. But that's going to be hard to do considering part of the raison d'Ãtre is to provide a global test counter. What does it mean to run the test in multiple threads anyway? What are those other threads doing? I can see someone running code in a separate thread, but I can't imagine running the TAP stuff in more than one thread. Just out of interest, how does Test::More cope with threads? -Dom
