Probably my question was too vague.

I believe that one of the most precise ways to describe a specific problem is by a Test::More script or something alike. The expected outcome will be at the bottom of the script in that case. The OP's example was not far away from such. Complaining about it appears to be more expensive than looking at this SSCCE.

And this thread definitely is :-)
