For the current project I have a test suite in .../t that prove runs in about 14 seconds. That's usable.

But I just added a test that takes a bit longer. It makes SSH connections, and that's the functionality I want to test so it would be useless to mock it just to make it go quicker.

Now the tests take 29 seconds to run. That's too much.

I have this idea of putting these tests in another directory so I easily can chose which tests to run. It could be .../tt, or .../t/slow.

Thoughts?

Update:

Maybe I should have mentioned: This isn't a CPAN module, it's an application at work. Hence, the SSH stuff is kind of dependent on our dev/test environment, and not many people will be installing it. In that regard, it makes sense to skip those tests by default so they aren't run in the production environment.

Thanks all!
