I'm seeing ... "interesting" behavior with some new development. My (so far) last test: 
# -*- perl -*-

# t/001_load.t - check module loading and create testing directory

use lib qw# /plugins #;
use UtcleDB;

use Data::Dumper;
use Test::More qw( no_plan );
my $dbh = UtcleDB->connect();

BEGIN { use_ok( 'ConferenceNameBuilder' ); }

my $object = ConferenceNameBuilder->new( DBH => $dbh );
isa_ok ($object, 'ConferenceNameBuilder');
can_ok ($object, 'foundation_list');

my $list = $object->foundation_list();
eq_array( $list );

the 
$object->foundation_list returns, and this may be important, an arrayr
+ef containing the list elements.  that's been verified (with Data::Du
+mper ... it's an array of hashrefs intended to be passed into some op
+tions menus.)
<p>
but ... the 'eq_array' test is failing .. sort of:
<code>

it's not a critical warning, but it's a touch annoying. it's also not from passing the arrayref ...

i'd rather not have an 'misleading' test result. any ideas?

UPDATE: what i wanted was really three tests: 

ok( ref( $list ) eq 'ARRAY', 'returned a list' );
ok( scalar( @$list ), 'returned a populated list' );
ok( ref( $list->[0] ) eq 'HASH', 'first element is a hashref ...' );

thanks!
