Re: Alternate Test::Harness

Could you just use Test::Harness and grep out everything except the cases you want to report? (This is my preferred method for viewing test output anyway. I don't want to know about the hundreds of tests that succeeded, just the handful that failed.)

$perlmonks{seattlejohn} = 'John Clyman';

I could run `Test::Harness` and suppress the output, but there's just something about all that interactive counting of tests (and there are 2000 tests) that I don't want to deal with. Just in the way that `Test::Harness` counts tests from 1 to 10, means that I get unbuffered characters and backspaces sent. `Test::Harness` is too verbose - I agree. I'd rather see a one-line summary on complete success, with no other output. Thanks for the suggestion - it will be "Plan B". In fact, thanks to everyone.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
