If you're using Test::Harness of 2.0 or newer, you don't need to set a test header. It's still a good idea in cases where you can accidentally run too many tests (see the tests for File::Find, if you're lacking essential horror in your life), but it's not required.

schwern's even suggested relaxing the requirement for headers in general.

Your right. Should have been clearer. You can't do it that way if you want to provide Test::Harness with a test header. Personally I like to do this since it protects me from accidentally dropping tests (many a slip between cut and paste ;-)	[reply]
