Provides a way to automatically increment the count of tests to run without having to do it manually, as more tests are added. Put the code below in to the first few lines of a test file (e.g. test.pl) and it will count the number of instances of the keywords of tests. I expect there are better ways, but this was a quick bonus for me!, plus this has a limited number of keywords...enjoy.
use Carp;
our $testcount;
BEGIN{#count number of tests dynamically
  eval{
    my $file = "/some_dir/t/test.pl";
    open(F, $file) || croak "can't open ***file:$file*** error:$!";
    my @f = grep {/ok\(|is\(|like\(/gis} <F>;
    close F;     
    $testcount = @f;
  };
  if($@){
   warn qq|ThrowError:$@|;
  }
}
use Test::More tests => $testcount;
#{...}#remaining test code
