wrong usage on your part

I've no reason to doubt you, but I'm still struggling to understand. The Test::Builder::skip documentation suggests to me that my usage is correct. It says that calling skip() "Skips the current test". By comparison, the skip_all() documentation says that skip_all() "Skips all the tests" - and that's exactly what happens when I replace: 
$self->builder->skip('Wanting to skip the DEMO_1 tests');

[download]
with: 
$self->builder->skip_all('Wanting to skip all tests');

[download]
With that change in place, things dwim perfectly. I find that all of the DEMO_1 and DEMO_2 tests are skipped - unless the DEMO_2 tests have been run first, in which case only the DEMO_1 tests get skipped.

I also don't understand how one would apply a skip() test if it is "just another test, like ok(...)". massa, is there an example somewhere of how Test::Builder::skip() is meant to be put to a useful purpose ?

Cheers,
Rob
