If you find yourself doing that a lot, I strongly recommend checking out
Test::Class. Then, grouping tests is as simple as including them in a single
method:
sub some_test_case : Test(3) {
my $test = shift; # same as $self, actually
ok some_func();
ok another_func(), 'awesome';
is $answer, 42;
}
It's also easier to organize tests and you can inherit tests, too (that's very
useful when you're changing only a small bit of behavior in a subclass but you
need to ensure that the rest of the behavior is unchanged).
