Am I missing something here? I set up a bunch of tests using Test::More. But for some reason, when a test fails, I don't get the test name, just the test number and line number. Did I misunderstand the whole idea of $test_name? The test is something like this: 
foreach (@items) {
  ...  a lot of perl code ...
  unless (some condition) {
    $err = "Splunk is missing from Foobar";
  }
}

if ($err) {   # <-------  line 60
  fail($err);
} else {
  pass("Fancy code passed");
}
