I'm assuming you've already looked at Test::Deep. What are you looking for that test-deep doesn't do? My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

Maybe Language::AttributeGrammar will help you. For Parrot there is also the "Tree Grammar Engine" (sorry, I don't know if there's a better link target, particle++ for providing at least this one) - are you looking for something like this?	[reply]
