As part of the phalanx project, I've added quite a few new tests to
02_methods.t in the Archive::Tar test suite. Though I'm jubilant the
new tests have uncovered a number of bugs, the test code itself has
been getting progressively uglier, ripe for refactoring, in fact.
To avoid code duplication

Well, since you're not a core module you don't have to worry about the
PERL_CORE stuff. So just put your .pm file somewhere under t and use lib.

I've fixed nearly all of breakage with IMCC

YHO would be incorrect here. There's a lot of runtime mutability, and
there's no guarantee that a sub or method has the same prototype at

I'm getting a little confused about what we're arguing about. I will
take a stab at describing the playing field, so people can correct me
where I'm wrong:
Nonprototyped functions: these are simpler. The only point of
contention here is whether args should be passed in P5..P15,

Great, thanks.

Yep. Obviously

2. Everything gets PMC-ized and passed in P5..P15+P3. Ix is an arg
count for the number of args passed in P5..P15. P3 is empty if
argcount = 11 (so you have to completely fill P5..P15 before

Well... this is the place where things fall down. It does change hash
