In my other post I stopped just short of proposing
sub lives_and_tests_ok (&&;$) {
my ($case, $test, $name) = @_;
local $@;
my $result = eval { $case->() };
$@ ? fail($name) : $test->($result, $name);
}
because it’s somewhat confusing to read the following:
lives_and_tests_ok (
sub { $o->answer },
sub { is shift, 42, shift },
"answer is 42"
);
I briefly pondered
sub lives_and_tests_ok (&&;$) {
my ($case, $test, $name) = @_;
local $@;
local ($b, $a) = ($name, eval { $case->() });
$@ ? fail($name) : $test->($result, $name);
}
but I don’t think it’s any more readable than
lives_and_tests_ok (
sub { $o->answer },
sub { is $a, 42, $b },
"answer is 42"
);
Makeshifts last the longest.

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).
