Dear Monks,

I've decided to write proper test scripts for the modules I'm developing. I've checked Test::Simple and Test::More, and they're missing a feature that seems important for me : not_ok() function. I need to test that my subs work OK, but it's perhaps at least as important to check that they fail properly when feeded with bad data!
Test::More allows failed tests in a TODO: block, but that's not what I'm looking for. Does any of you know how I may solve this elegantly? 

# this one should work
ok( my_sub('needs', 3, 'parameters'), "that's good!");

# this one should fail
not_ok(my_sub('bad parameter count'), "that fails!");
