Re^3: testing a croak

If you load Test::Exception with use_ok you need to do so in a BEGIN block.

BEGIN {
  use_ok('Test::Exception'};
}

will work.

Hmm, that's odd, can you post a cut-down (but complete) version of your code which shows this problem. I.e. a complete runnable test script with only the one test and the code it calls which dies? Something like this: `use Test::More tests => 2; BEGIN { use_ok("Test::Exception"); } sub slayme { die "Error message"; } throws_ok { slayme() } qr/Error message/,"Dies correctly"; __OUTPUT__ 1..2 ok 1 - use Test::Exception; ok 2 - Dies correctly` [download] There are ten types of people: those that understand binary and those that don't.
