tomazos has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I was looking through the perldoc for Test::Class and came across something I hadn't seen before...

package Example::Test; use base qw(Test::Class); use Test::More; sub subtraction : Test { is( 2-1, 1, 'subtraction works ); };

What is that strange colon doing between subtraction and Test - and what is it up to?

Can someone tell me what it is called and which Perl man page documents it?

-Andrew.
