Howdy, The test suite is considered "official" as in "everything that passes the (completed) test suite may name itself Perl 6", and nearly all of these files 'use Test'; However we don't ship an "official" Test.pm, nor do we define which test functions it should contain and export by default, nor their semantics.
Now this may sound a bit theoretical and far-fetched, but we've actually encountered test files that contain tests which are only in Rakudo's Test.pm (probably my fault), and otoh there are a few functions in pugs' Test.pm that are not used (for example unlike(), which is only used in t/02-test-pm/1-basic.t to test unlike()). So how should we proceed? Should I assemble a list of commonly used test functions and remove all others both in the Test.pm's and the test files? And then? Spec it? Or ship a prototype Test.pm as "official"? Cheers, Moritz -- Moritz Lenz http://perlgeek.de/ | http://perl-6.de/
