Just to add to the concern Bill has voiced, there is a risk of "fixing" testing here. You see that the sub-tests have failed only if you run in the verbose mode. Most people won't do that, and will miss those failures, thinking that everything is proper.


hmm, what gives you that impression?

$ make test

/perl/perl-5.8.2/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib \
t/TEST -bugreport -verbose=0
*** setting ulimit to allow core files

modules/dir..............ok
modules/env..............ok
modules/expires..........skipped
        all skipped: cannot find module 'expires'
modules/headers..........skipped

modules/include..........ok 20/76# Failed test 20 in modules/include.t at

Ah, great then. I think older Test::Harness didn't show them in the non-verbose mode. Thanks for correcting me.
