in thread swat on CPAN

"Swat by design is specially for smoke tests ..."

Then this module is snake oil. Why don't I try it? Because you have not shown me why I should. Why don't you try Mojolicious or Dancer and see how they handle this kind of testing instead. I've already been where you are and I've since seen the light. Stop wasting your time on this.

    Good luck to you on your way. May be I am wrong but I think swat is still might be useful for others, time will show. But last thought - smoke tests are not about specific frameworks you mentioned , this is just a way to get know that a web application is alive after deploy. There are a plenty of web servers and web frameworks but often people maintaining servers does not care/ know about the internal side , they just want to be sure that application is alive. I call it smoke tests. I respect your way, seriously, but let we close our discussion , do not you mind?
      " this is just a way to get know that a web application is alive after deploy"

      Are you still seriously trying to debate this? See Heartbeat (computing), the proper way to do that. You don't need a module just to that either.
