This isn't guaranteed, but may be useful. As part of smoke testing an environment variable is set to know whether automated testing or manual testing is being performed. This is then used to determine whether a text editor needs to be invoked to allow the tester to make additional comments.
something like...
my $autotesting = 1 if($ENV{VISUAL} eq 'echo');
... might work. Unfortunately I cannot test this myself, as I'm about to head off to a London.pm social meeting :)

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.
