No you are not - but the main activity is happening on perlunit-devel.

Well, let's put it that way: nearly all of the email that I have
received and a lot of the posts on perlunit-devel seem to indicate
that people do already use PerlUnit at work.

I don't think that everything is going to change completely, but you
might have a word about that with the folks on perlunit-devel. Still,
the basic idea is to provide an implementation of the XUnit framework
for Perl, and that is relatively stable. Do you have any specific
things you are worried about?

Oh yes, very interested. Please join the perlunit-devel mailing list
or just keep posting to this list (perlunit-users), and mail us your
comments and criticisms. Feedback is always welcome.

Cheers,

Christian Lemburg

P.S.: Please  note that I do not maintain Test::Unit anymore. 
The new maintainer is Piers Cawley together with the folks on 
the PerlUnit sourceforge group.
