>From what I can tell, TAP::Harness is geared towards any program that outputs TAP, where Test::Harness is specifically for perl test programs. Test::Harness also appears to be the 'old school' way of running tests, where TAP::Harness is the new hotness. TAP::Harness is part of the latest Test::Harness distribution. So we don't need any additional dependencies, we just need to require Test::Harness 3.x. Or check for the version of Test::Harness in this patch for the PHP harness and die if it isn't there. I like this option the best - it gives the feature to those with Test::Harness 3.x while preserving compatibility. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@perl.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@perl.apache.org
