First, I appreciate the dissenting opinion, I was looking particularly for the proverbial "other ways to do it."
I suspect that the experence difference between you and I is the main point here: your method works best for you because you have the skill to avoid the pitfalls. Were I to design something in that way, I'm sure that I'd miss an assertion or return check somewhere, or the coverage wouldn't be complete in some other way. The Test::* method allows me to have all my tests in the same place, where gaps are obvious. The extra work initially has a big payoff downstream when I'm hunting bugs.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
