I concur.  Test::Tester's style of looking at the results as data,
rather than as formatted stuff, is the way to go for most test testing.

Anybody wanna adopt Test::Class, Test::Exception & Test::Block

2014-06-27 Thread Adrian Howard
To join Fergal’s request for module adoption…

My spare tuits are being spent in other places than perl development at the 
moment — and the ticket queue for my modules is building up a bit.

If anybody is willing to take 'em over please drop me a line. 

Test::Class & Test::Exception are used a fair number of places. 

Test::Block is deprecated so shouldn’t need any input.

T::C especially is used by lots of folk internally so new maintainer would have 
to keep an eye on backwards compatibility.

Thanks,

Adrian
