Thank you :o)

It's quite unexpected, but also not quite what i expected.
What you did here is run a Test::Class inside a Test::Spec.
What i would like would be to write a Test::Class in Test::Spec style, with the "describe/it" nested structure.

I still tried to add a "describe" assertion in the Test::Spec file, and a Test::More::ok() assertion into the Test.pm file, hoping that the TAP would produce a mixed output (i'm not sure how it would be useful, but i'm still interested by the experiment). But it didn't.
I added in the pm_class_spec_comb.pl file :

describe 'A mixed Test' => sub {
    it 'runs Test::Spec and Test::Class tests' => sub {
        [...]
    };
};
[download]

and in the Test.pm file :

use Test::More;
[download]

and

ok(1);
[download]

and it printed

ok 1 - test Hello
[download]

which is the normal Test::Class output. While i was hoping for it to write something mixed, like
"A mixed Test runs Test::Spec and Test::Class tests test Hello"

But anyway, this would still not be what i want.

Let me try to rephrase what i want.
In Test::Spec i can build "nested statements". For example,

describe 'A Fruit' => {

    [general tests on a Fruit, here]

    describe 'attached to its branch' => {
        [tests on Fruits which are still on their branch]
        [example :]
        it 'grows' => sub {
            ok(1);
        }
    };

    describe 'fallen on the floor' => {
        [tests on Fruits which have fallen on the floor]
    };

    describe 'on a pie' => sub {
        [tests on Fruits which are on a pie]
    }; 
};
[download]

And in each section, the output for each assertion will start with the corresponding context. For example i will read :

ok 1 - A fruit attached to its branch grows
[download]

This nested structure also enables nested declaration of the variables that i need for my tests. So, all the tests that are grouped together share the same variables, which can be re-initialized before each test, with the "before each" function. This way i don't need a $test variable to reinitialise and carry variables that are used in several tests : i can directly use my variables in several tests

See the @roll variable in my Game::Bowling example, for example. With Test::Class i would need to use $test->{roll} all the time, and i think i wouldn't be able to initialize it differently for different groups of tests.

I don't know if such a thing can be achieved with Test::Class.
I should maybe write my Game::Bowling example with Test::Class, to give a comparizon.
