in reply to Now I know what is aggravating about testing:
in thread New testing tool in the new Test::Harness

That's why everyone should explain what the test is doing in the comment. Instead of
is( $stooges, 3 );
use
is( $stooges, 3, "Correct stooge count (in case we get Shemp too)" );
It's about as self-documenting as you can get.
