First off, I do know that I can accomplish the same things with Test, even though I like the richer interface of Test::More better, and it makes the tests easier to read. A matter of taste, and "do I need it", and probably other things too. :)

That said, I am impressed by the richness of your response, and I see that there are lots of gold here for when modules should start hitting the world. Thanks! Lots of it is not new, but it is a good summary, in good context.

I guess I could bundle whatever module I need like that, but I think I would rather have it as a prerequisite, or use one that the installer is sure to have.

And I will take a look at that script - no use in reinventing the wheel on that one. :)

Again, thank you. I will have use for this. :)

You have moved into a dark place.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
