IMHO, testers should be trying to provoke reasonable failures caused by faulty assumptions. (As, distinct from provoking failures on intentionally broken systems.) Given the possibilities, it seems like the sort of thing that should be wrapped up in a module. (If it isn't already.) Hey, David Cantrell -- how about Devel::CheckBin to go along in the series with Devel::CheckLib and Devel::CheckOS? :-) David
