Depending on the size of the testfile and my mood to change, I either
grudgingly add another ok() (if the "test-cases" aren't in the data section
anyway), or convert it to Test::More straightaway.
Granted, that was what I did before Test::Legacy, which seems to have gone
from a wild idea to some working stage while I was not looking :)
So, what would the benefit of using Test::Legacy? Reading the pod I do not see
for me why I should use it, because I only ever used Test.pm, or Test::More
and never both of them in the same test script.
(I try to keep my tests simple so that even people like me in 3 months
understand them :)
Yes, I could go all nillywilly :) and change every "use Test;" to "use
Test::Legacy;" but as I said, don't fix what aint borkened. Of course, unless
you tell me that "use Test;" _is_ broken and one should replace it :o) I am
really open-minded about this. Maybe there are problems which I simple
haven't noticed yet - my experience is quite limited.
Afterthought:
Oooh, you mean I change:
use Test;
to:
use Test::Legacy;
use Test::More;
and slap an is() a the end? Wow, that would be nifty. You should mention this
in the docs!
I do think that I still would convert the tests eventually to Test::More, but
for the more huge test files that would be a nice intermidiate solution..
Best wishes,
Tels
