The trouble with this interface is sometimes you want to collect a bunch of output from a bunch of different functions together.
That's why I suggested that it be prototyped to take a code block:
stdout_is { fcn1(); # more processing fcn2(); } $expected, "comment";
Be very careful you do not alter the output with your code block. For example:
stdout_is { print scalar caller; } scalar caller;
That's a good warning on code blocks, and worth documenting for a module like this, but I'm not sure it's going to be a big issue in writing test scripts. Unless you're testing the "print" built-in function, that test is more easily written as
is(scalar caller, scalar caller)
or maybe even just as
ok(1)
