in reply to TAP version 13

Of course I could subclass those modules and overwrite the particular methods to generate YAML output. But this would make my code less portable, which I also don't like too much.

Upload to CPAN, and your code is now portable :)

So my question is: Does anyone know of a module which might already do this or is currently in development?

According to that wiki, taps-testing - Testing .NET and Mono software using TAP has a yaml writer :D

But I don't really follow the qa/tap... development that closely :) See this thread JSON TAP Diagnostics? for some reasons why it probably doesn't exist :)

    Too bad it's .Net and won't help me ;)

    Well, that's the point I don't really understand. About 3 years ago there were a lot of discussions about adding this cool feature and since then nothing happened? I was under the impression that the whole testing infrastructure is one of Perl strengths with the Test:: and TAP:: modules, but in this area it looks like nothing is going on.

    Don't get me wrong. I understand that most people working on CPAN modules are doing this in their free time and of course I'm not in the position to demand a particular module, but I just don't understand why this effort has stalled in the last 3 years. I'm hoping someone who participated in that original discussion will read this post :)
