sure, but you can conditionally skip over those tests for users that don't have Test::More installed. I know that currently doing that is kind of ugly, but we could come up with some pretty shortcuts for this if you like. > - Test::More's verbose output doesn't work the way we want, it prints > out the expected/received values only on failure, making it really hard > to develop tests. that's a matter of personal preference - I very much prefer the behavior of is() to t_cmp() :) anyway, I understand your concerns, so go ahead and implement it if you like. it just feels really, really bad to continue moving as though the Perl community hasn't already solved these problems with what is considered to be the standard testing module. --Geoff
