Dear monks!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm working on a new package/module, called &lt;i&gt;Test::Referenced&lt;/i&gt;, that I intend to upload to CPAN once finished. It's based on an old idea, that has proven to be very useful to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Test::Referenced - Test against reference data stored in file(s).&lt;/p&gt;
Synopsis:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
  use Test::Referenced;
 
  is_referenced_ok(
    complex_data(),
    "complex data"
  );
 
  is_referenced_in_file(
    data_structure(),
    "complex data test",
    "data_structure"
  );
&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Full POD is available here: [href://http://www.natanael.krakow.pl/perl/Test-Referenced.txt|Test-Referenced.txt]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I never uploaded anything in Test::* namespace, thus I want to ask some questions before doing so:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;is the package name sane?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;should I contact/ask/confirm something, before uploading a module into Test::*?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;are the function names sane?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;maybe there is some very similar module, about which I'm not aware of, that does similar job?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank You for any tips in this matter!&lt;/p&gt;</field>
