Re^2: Using Test::TAP::Model and a global object

Hi steve, thanks for your reply

Not sure if I made this clear, but I need to pass the same object because it contains connections (SSH and LDAP) that I want to re-use without re-connecting in every test script.

Ahh I guess I wasn't being helpful then. I guess a potential fall-back plan would be to created a local singleton module to encapsulate your connection. Then each test could do something like: `my $con = Singleton::Connection->instance();` [download] and this way only the first connection would connect - the latter calls would return the established object. Still just a hack instead of the real ability you want, but it might help. Steve --	[reply] [d/l]
