Re^2: $SIG{__DIE__} overrides exit status?

Test::Harness doesn't have control over the signal handlers that the tested code might implement. When you install Class::Does::Everything via cpan or cpanplus, you can't just expect they've written it correctly.

What we could do is have the test programs invoked like this:

perl -MTest::Harness::SIGDIE t/some_test.t

Then we'd just have to figure out the Test::Harness::SIGDIE magic. Actually, now that I stop to think about it, that might not work either. It still requires the signal handler to be written correctly.

`Test::Harness` doesn't have control over the signal handlers that the tested code might implement. Ah, sorry; I misunderstood the situation.	[reply] [d/l]
