Dear monks!

I'm working on a new package/module, called Test::Referenced, that I intend to upload to CPAN once finished. It's based on an old idea, that has proven to be very useful to me.

Test::Referenced - Test against reference data stored in file(s).

Synopsis:

  use Test::Referenced;
 
  is_referenced_ok(
    complex_data(),
    "complex data"
  );
 
  is_referenced_in_file(
    data_structure(),
    "complex data test",
    "data_structure"
  );
[download]

Full POD is available here: Test-Referenced.txt

I never uploaded anything in Test::* namespace, thus I want to ask some questions before doing so:

• is the package name sane?
• should I contact/ask/confirm something, before uploading a module into Test::*?
• are the function names sane?
• maybe there is some very similar module, about which I'm not aware of, that does similar job?

Thank You for any tips in this matter!
