Re: Test::Class modules, skip install

If you have a test suite you should use it or at least a sub set of it with you package.

Regression testing allows you to discover problems at the earliest possible stage. You module may depend on another that has an interface change in a later version. Without including the tests you are relying on the interfaces you use to be backward compatible. Fixing this is a nightmare without a set of tests that show up interface issues.

Just my thoughts

It is one thing to have a test suite as part of a package, is another to just be installing tests as regular modules. The point is that in this instance I really don't see a need to install my tests with my package.	[reply]
