useful for me.
Somewhat related. I've been meaning to go back and figure out where
'prove' came from. I don't recall seeing any reference to it when I
first went through the Test::Tutorial and other Test:: docs. It is
very useful, but I found it by accident.
Thanks

eb tests take ages to run, and on a bad day they time out.
Any suggestions for how to work around this?
Add a check of the response time of the sandbox server before starting
the functional tests and skip if it is not good enough.

can't see how that is useful, but it's not too much trouble to allow

How gross would it be just to have a logical channel in TAP that
could represent output to STDERR? That plus the exit status of the
test script is pretty much all you have at the moment. Would that be
so bad?
Perhaps, for non-Unix testing, perhaps not.
Here is what I have. There are bots that a

Well let's generalise it and discuss the specifics: "any useful

is great at parsing, but why make it difficult. Especially for the

So I'd do something like.

pretty darn high.

Well, at first I didn't think that I'd want it, but after seeing your

Thanks for all the hard work in making Perl, TAP, etc. the excellent
foundation from which to build a tool to fulfill my testing need.
