I completely missed the fact that Parrot_Docs.t even existed, DOH! Although, it looks like there would be no duplication of testing. The pod.t file I submitted searches through the entire parrot tree and test the format of the all Pod containing files. While Parrot_Docs.t contains regression tests for the Parrot::Docs::* collection of modules. As to whether or not it's worth the effort to maintain the in tree pod checking modules, I'd say that boils down to: Is Pod::Simple (used by Test::Pod) as or more rigorous than the checking done by Parrot::Docs::File. Perhaps Sean Burke can take a look at the code and comment? Cheers, -J --
