Basically when you're giving skip/ok subs, you don't want to run other ok/skips inside, you want the return value

ok( wanted, gotten, testname )

skip( skipit, wanted, gotten, testname ) 

$ perl -MTest -le " plan tests=>1; skip 0, sub{ -monkeys }, sub {-bana
+nas } ;
1..1

not ok 1
# Test 1 got: "-monkeys" (-e at line 1)
#   Expected: "-bananas"
