Thanks, stevieb. I've added in an example of skip now as that is definitely worth bringing to the beginner's attention.

Regarding the error trapping, if anything I'd be more inclined to steer the new tester towards Test::Exception or Test::Fatal rather than rolling their own. What's your reasoning for using the bare eval instead?

    Habit, less prerequisites in my distributions, and less abstraction. I'm not saying that a distribution isn't a good idea, I just avoid going that route where I can.
