Dear fellow Monks,

I am trying to be good this time and write unit tests using Test::More. A number of my methods return XML and I wish to write a subtest that verifies the XML data and which can be called a number of times with different parameters.

How do I pass parameters to the subtest? Updates and progress is below:

Best solution (so far): seems to be to use a wrapper method containing an anonymous subtest routine, passing the parameters to the wrapper. 

sub my_wrapper {
    my ($name, $xml) = @_;
    subtest 'My subtest' => sub {
         like( $xml, qr/xml version=/, "$name: XML Document");
    };
}

my $m1Xml = MyPackage::method1();
my_wrapper( 'Method 1 XML', $m1Xml);
my $m2Xml = MyPackage::method2();
my_wrapper( 'Method 2 XML', $m2Xml);

If any of my proposed solutions have minor errors, it's because I don't waste my genius on trivial matters. :-P
