Hi Ian,

Test::Unit was a nice idea, but it's been abandoned.

Test::Inline seems nice, but it doesn't give you the full benefits of
Test::Class (convenient setup, teardown, inheritance, etc.).

Test::Class is great.  I'm quite happy with it.  If you're more
comfortable with XUnit style testing, this is the way to go.  However,
read the docs for caveats.

Test::More is also good if you're doing smaller projects.  All of my
CPAN modules now require Test::More.  It's very easy to use and you can
get up to speed faster with Test::More than most of the other testing
tools (besides Test::Simple).

Cheers,
Ovid
