Does the fact that it neglects to base it itself on Test::Builder mean that it does not play nicely with the stadard testing phase of CPAN style module distributions?

Yes and no.

T::U can be made to output TAP (using Test::Unit::HarnessUnit) which means Test::Harness can understand it's output, so you can integrate it into the normal CPAN testing phase.

This disadvantages are that:

  • It doesn't support all of TAP - so you cannot use things like SKIP and TODO tests if you want to
  • Since it is not based on Test::Builder it doesn't integrate with all of the other Test::Builder based modules on CPAN - so you may end up reinventing some existing wheels
  • Since it's not a core module (unlike Test::More) you have an extra dependency to install.

Well - that and the fact that its huge, overcomplicated and pretty much unmaintained :-)

If Test::Unit seemed reasonably close to what I wanted, what is the closest thing that behaves in an appropriately Perlish fashion?

Test::Class - but I would say that :-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
