What about Test::Unit?

I'm working on getting a large amount of "legacy code" under test harnesses, and I'm wondering why Test::Unit isn't more widely used. Andy Lester suggested I pose the question on this list. Do people think Test::Unit sucks? Simply not very well known? An (admittedly rough) case for why I lik

Hi Folks, As of late, particularly in the run up to 0.4.1, people seem to be falling out of the habit of submitting patches as a parrotbug. This could cause either real PITAs in the future where someone has to goto a huge effort to track these things down or more likely the patches will just fall
