in thread swat on CPAN

OK, for some reason you were making me think I had to convert JUnit to TAP. Your docs are very confusing. Please consider having someone who speaks English rewrite them for you. However, I still see zero reason to use this module. Seriously, it is quite pointless. If you do not understand this then you have not been testing for very long. Most people who are inexperienced in testing reinvent wheels that are already invented. There are a plethora of Testing modules out there on the CPAN. I for one do not appreciate you adding more noise to the signal.

    It is up to you of course to use this tool or not , some people found my module useful. Have you really read my doc? It has never been said about junit there!

    It is only written that swat produces TAP with prove, that is all, anyone who knows what TAP and prove is might understand that this format is quite flexible. I think this is documented in quite clear and understandable way ( even though I am not a native speaker ) You of course may criticize but usually criticism might be helpful if one provide some other arguments, but the only one I can hear from you is "I still see zero reason to use this".

      I profusely apologizing for seeing TAP and reading JUnit. That was my mistake. However, you still don't understand. I call prove. Not you. Big difference.

      So let me be loud and clear here: the fact that your code is a wrapper around prove shows that it is unnecessary. There is no way in hell I would ever put this into one of my clients' production bases.

        I take your apologies, that is ok :)

        You say that swat is wrapper around prove and that is true. But what wrong with that? Swat uses prove to run tests. But this only one small "part" of swat , the main "part" of swat is DSL to allow one creates smoke tests for web application in quite fast and simple way. This DSL does not relate to prove at all . Please read my docs to see what this DSL is. And then let's compare with other modules , it would be interesting.

        Does it make a sense ?
