Re^2: Need advice on test output

A format string for 'printf' would be difficult as there are a lot of conditional bits which won't get displayed if they're not present (such as 'unexpectedly succeeded tests'). Perhaps allowing an optional Template Toolkit template might work. However, TAPx::Parser very deliberately does not use any non-core modules and strives to be compatible with versions of Perl as old as 5.005, so this also limits my options.

Sorry, I didn't make that very clear did I? I meant to imply a format string per default summary line type. So the table format could easily be altered with column orders specified in a list of column names for example. This works pretty well if the column information happens to be stored in a hash, but it it pretty trivial to use a hash to map from a list of names to an index in any case. Report information that by default was suppressed would still be suppressed, but a specific format string could be supplied if required. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]
