No, see, I want to establish a set_up/tear_down that are exectuted not once for each test, but a set_up that is run once before the first test is run, and a teat_down that is run once after the last test is run. If my reading of Test::Unit::Setup are correct this allows you to do this. However, I'm not sure how the Test::Unit::Decorators (Test::Unit::Setup isa Decorator) in relation to Test::Unit::TestCase (or is it supposed to be used with a TestSuite?)

Still needing help with this...

P.S. Our group is already pretty heavily invested in Test::Unit, but I can ask the other guys what they think of Test::Class...
