That's what I want. :-)
[To be honest, I don't care if it's a Schwern (closure) who merely puts it
onto his (captured lexical) $TODO, as long as there's also a reference to
Chromatic to actually get a round tuit. That still gets my tests written f
terface) but it's possible to count the number of
arguments in @_, and thereby distinguish between no arguments and 1 undef
argument. It's just that saying "pass a literal undef for no plan" is about
as clear as "no_plan". Empty string is probably clearer, and quite easy to
test for (with length, after a defined || croak test)

n? I'm confused.
Or do you mean dropping all automatic threading support? In which case, how
does one test threaded code? [not that I've written any]
Will there be an explicit thread testing module?

So seeing if a data structure change reduces RAM is interesting to me, the

big block of free space.
However, the function returns something that may not be sbrk() on a system
without sbrk(), don't call it sbrk, because it ain't.
(And do document what it does return on each different system)

Trouble is that it's entirely accurate. If you know what sbrk() is in
Unix, then you know that this would return it. The value is not directly
memory used or anything like that. It's the current sbrk() :-)

Nor are all Solaris boxes sparc.
(or x86 for that matter - it was internally ported to alpha to check 64 bit
cleanliness before true 64 bit sparc chips were available)

That would be good.

option at t/path/to/test.t line 1.
So you already have to change the command line to run a -T test by hand.
So I don't see this as a problem:
../perl -TI. -MTestInit t/path/to/test.t
1..1
ok 1
Although writing it -T -I. is probably clearer

So you may wish to install fa_IR and test with that.

This is the problem that I have, and I think I've found a solution that
works for me.

The idea being that a test killing itself after elapsed time (and failing
to return some results from that test) is better than a test hanging forever

patch removes, and as nothing has been applied, that syntax error remained.
Was there ever a feasible plan on how to automate syntax checking of all
the code examples in the pod snippets?

Alternatively, if your Term::ANSIColor is installed in 5.6.1's directories,
just build yourself a 5.005_03 in the regular place :-)

so I guess that as much as that as possible, preferable all needs testing
(in an ideal world. As I found with Benchmark.t, trying to test everything
gets quite big. And it had less things than Dynaloader.)
