Good option. Only downside is that you lose the prototyping of the test functions, and the calling syntax is a little more complex (in my opinion).

You would also need to have it as:

wrapper (\&is, sub {$o->answer}, 42, 'answer returned 42')

(we can only prototype the sub away if the coderef is the first argument)

One other problem would be in figuring out the test name to output when an exception is thrown. Since it's optional for test subs it may, or may not, be the last argument.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
