What follows are the notes I have from someone else regarding the name "comment" for what was previously considered the "label."
It's actually rather important that I have an answer for this, but I really can't go into more detail (sorry). Cheers, Ovid > It's been settled. It's officially a "test comment."

It makes good enough sense when you're dealing with the call to the test: ok($blah, "This is a test comment"); But it makes explaining the TAP format a pain. The "test comment" is everything after the test number or "ok" and before the # comment marker or end of the line. So, what's everything after the # comment marker? The other comment? It's a significant difference, too, because: ok 1 # skip ok 1 - blah, blah, blah # skip are skips (they have "skip" marked by the # comment marker), while: ok 1 skip ok 1 - skip aren't skips, they're just tests that happen to have "skip" as their name/label/identifier/whatever. ===== If this message is a response to a question on a mailing list, please send follow up questions to the list.
