 We're probably going to start using it for e-smith's testing foo.
 I've dinked around with it briefly, enough to know that it 
 does roughly what I want, but I'm not on any kind of unusual
 platform or anything, so I don't know if that's at all helpful.

It looks like I'm going to be putting it into use here as well for
testing our Mason component architecture.  x86 platform, web-based
testing.  Should be interesting.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can get it installed as an alpha.  I'll
try to experiment on my own, though.

 Schwern, do you have plans for releasing T::H 2.00 to CPAN
 as anything other than an alpha? What do you need to see
 before you release it?

Hmmm, more people trying it, really, especially on the weird
platforms.  I rewrote all the test analysis logic and I still afraid I
broke something.

The interface needs to be gelled a bit.  Half of it is unimplemented.

I also need to merge some fixes from the mainline into 2.00.

I'll see if I can kick out 2.00_02 today.

 I want T::H::Straps to be able to tell me whether there were warnings
 during my test run, and if so, what they were. Working modules
 don't generally warn. Perhaps that should be switchable.  

Ok, I'll have to trap STDERR.  It's going to be tricky to preserve the
interweaving of STDOUT and STDERR though, and to do it without
IPC::Open3.


 Also, I assume that T::H::S wants to be pointed at a module directory,
 where it can perl Makefile.PL  make  make test--- so that
 I can rebuild my embedded tests and get test results programmatically.
 That doesn't seem to be how it works; I'm doing a lot of that at
 user level instead. Seems somewhat clunky. 

That's out of Test::Harness's scope.  For something like that you want
CPAN::Smoke.


 Also, total_results doesn't yet work, and I want it to--- related
 to the last paragraph. That's what I assume total_results will
 give me when it's implemented.

Nope, total_results is just a hash of file that have been analyzed and
their results.
