in thread When C<use Module;> *not* the same as C<require Module; import Module;>?

Off topic for the origins of this thread, but merlyn laid my original question to rest quite succinctly. Otherwise, I think that testing, and discussion of testing methodology is very germaine.

It's not just the dependancy issue that I baulk at.

I also have a problem with

  1. The design of their interfaces.
  2. The way they report failure.
  3. The testing methodology that they encourage.
  4. And the all-in-one, everything-gets-tested-every-time aspect of the way they are (generally) used.

That's kind of vague I know, almost deliberately. I did start to try expand it a little, but I need to take my time and think the whole think through before writing it down for public scrutiny.

As I have been asked to elaborate, I will take a few days to write it down and clarify my own thinking before posting.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
Silence betokens consent.
Love the truth but pardon error.
