Is it possible to put the TAP parser into a strict mode where it would detect
and fault these sorts of things?
(I think most specifically "these things" are lines that aren't /^ok/,
/^not ok/ or /^#/ )

;s terminal is expecting the
same (8 bit) encoding as the script already is in.
However, it might be safe enough to invoke the testing Perl with -CLS
(set STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR to UTF-8 if the user's locale has UTF-8 in it)
which is probably going to be more right more often than anything else.
Not sure if -CLS only came in with 5.8.1

ject file extension.
You can get that from $Config:
$ perl -V:obj_ext
obj_ext='.o';

t skipping is better, because the tests run as non-root
already prove that the module's functionality worked. Adding a lot
of complex logic to the test to swap user when running as root would
actually make the test as much a test of the user ID swapping code,
and introduce code that isn't usually tested, and generally introduce
fragility and cause false positive failures.

Now, does anyone know a student?

are not those which you want to consider reserved. I guess that one
needs to loop over all characters in the string, and verify that if
$char eq lc $char then also $char ne uc $char. (But one could first
short circuit the common pass case with the test above)

$ grep -c 'ignore X' ~/.muttrc

That's the ones I've collected that I don't care about. And some of those are
common prefixes.
I guess that there are bazillions more. "There's one born every minute."

test to call it quite
tersely, with minimal code duplication, possibly using closures.
One will still get all the diagnostics from running the test twice.
It would just be that the second test, the one we currently don't have a way
to write, would loose its "TODO" and become a hard fail if things change in
the wrong direction.

t in turn to make it pass
I could well spend more time bodging that than actually writing
documentation. Which, I agree with chromatic, would be stupid, and not
something that I'd like to see promoted.
(Is "You have POD and it's well formed" is something that is already tested?)

ication time is stamped with a time from the client, and if they're
out the "impossible" can happen. Which when you're sanity testing the ops
that read these sorts of things, you're looking out for.
Although I suspect that there can be more general problems with make getting
(correctly) confused by timestamps on files it touched.

Wouldn't it be simpler to send a patch to domm that makes the warnings point
credited if the module states a requirement on perl pre 5.006, and has a -w
on the #! line?
Nicholas Clark
erything the warnings pragma can do, so by changing to use it I might
be adding bugs.

So everyone gainfully employed because they know what they are doing is

ly tested for. What's the best way to write a test that fits
within the current frameworks to prevent any regression?
It's not obvious to me how to make use_ok() test for failure.

Is this TAP valid?
ok 1 - killed the keyd
1..1
ok 2 - Child exit of 3 was expected
prove (v3.14) thinks so:
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=2, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.03 usr 0.00 sys + 0.04 cusr 0.00
csys = 0.07 CPU)
Result: PASS
I'm not convinced.

I find
isnt($foo, undef);
useful as it gives better failure diagnostics than
ok(defined $foo);

Devel::Cover to provide the same coverage reports, but generate them from
an nytprof.out file? If not, what's missing from the nytprof.out file?
Would this reduce the maintenance load on Devel::Cover?

I've also found

Whereas the BSD socket() implementation works in such a way that a socket FD
can be substituted for a file FD, pipe FD or tty FD, and the program
continues to work just as it did before, without needing any special case
code. Doesn't even need recompiling.)

The IO::Compress tests being such a reliable serial bottleneck that I can set
off a complete build and test run while writing this e-mail just to check
that I had the right distribution, and it finishes before me :-)

a more efficient format in memory to "archive" results for tests where
every single subtest was an "ok"?
