Hi all, I don't know if this a bug or a feature but die_on_fail of the Test::Most CPAN module doesn't exactly do what I would expect (and want) it to do. Please have a look at this short example test: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Test::Most tests => 3;
die_on_fail;

ok(1==2, "checkpoint 1");
lives_ok (
    sub {
        print "checkpoint 2\n";
    },
    "lives_ok test"
);
ok(1==1, "checkpoint 3");

Test 1 obviously fails, so I want it to exit the test immediately. But it still executes the subroutine of the 2nd test before exiting. Here is the program output: 
-bash:perl$ perl dieonfail.pl
1..3
not ok 1 - checkpoint 1
#   Failed test 'checkpoint 1'
#   at dieonfail.pl line 6.
checkpoint 2
Test failed.  Stopping test.
# Looks like you planned 3 tests but only ran 1.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 1 run.
# Looks like your test died just after 1.

It doesn't execute test 3, so die_on_fail is working, but it still enters the subroutine of test 2. Is there any way to keep it from running the subroutine if test 1 failed? I can of course always manually enter "|| or die" after each test, but I would prefer something automated like the "die_on_fail" option.

In reply to die_on_fail of Test::Most only dies after the next test by elTriberium
