I've just written a small logging module and I want ot do this isa_ok($lj, "BlackStar::LumberJack", "I'm a LumberJack and I'm ok"); This feature is essential ;-) cheers Andrew

Essential Modules
One of the best ways to pound 5.8 release candidates will be to run it and 5.6.1 against heaps of CPAN modules and make sure that everything which works on 5.6.1 works on 5.8.0. In anticipation of this, I'd like to build a list of the modules that you all use in your day to day programming. This is the list of stuff that Must Work and when the time comes for 5.8 release candidates we can check them all out. (Or you can start early). Add your modules to the Wiki http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/cgi-bin/perl-qa-wiki.cgi?EssentialModules -- Michael G.

Archive::Tar, Archive::Zip and Compress::Zlib need help
Archive::Tar and Archive::Zip are very essential modules. You use them every time you run the CPAN shell. However, their implementation could use a little work and the authors could use a little help. In all cases the need better tests, clearer docs, tutorials and a general cleanup of the code. If anyone is seriously interested in helping out the authors, please contact them. Or better yet, surprise them with a patch!

If it's not a dumb question, why are you doing it that way? If you
were using PerlUnit, aka Test::Unit::TestCase, you could do something
like:
package ParentTest;
use base 'Test::Unit::TestCase';
sub setup {
...
}
sub test_foo {
...
}
Then simply inherit from it for each different set of tests.
package DerivedTest;
use base 'ParentTest';
use SomeModule;
Then your /t would have files like:
derived.t:
use Test::Unit::HarnessUnit;
Test::Unit::HarnessUnit->new->start('DerivedTest');
which could be programmatically generated.
Thinking about it, you could probably move the module loads into the
test scripts and have them just run the basic test, which would, in
turn, probably mean you could get away with just using Test::More/Simple

Test::Harness 2.00_01 alpha
A new version of the Test::Harness 2.00 alpha just went up. This has some small revisions to the Straps interface and integrates some bug fixes from the mainline. My major concern is that it get used, especially on non-Unixen. If someone has a Win32 box, give it a shot. http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/src/Test-Harness-2.00_01.tar.gz -- Michael G.
