Monks,

When running a 'make test' (obtained from module-starter) all module output is suppressed. The test in t/ are called using test_harness() which uses TEST_VERBOSE. Setting TEST_VERBOSE to other values than 0 enables print DEBUG statements from the .t files, but not from the modules themselves. Commenting NOECHO does not do it either. What is the regular approach when trying to debug a module in this context ? Or, is it that modules are usually not debugged when running 'make test' ? I could make a test program to debug the modules out of 'make test' so module console output is allowed, although I kind of expected that this could be done while running 'make test'.

Thanks for any suggestions/ideas/comments.

Best wishes to all for 2010!
