No it doesn't... This is one of those things about perl - code that looks like a function call is never checked to see if the function exists until runtime: #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; print "Here I have started running now\n"; foobarsplot(); ^-- won't complain until runtime. That's what gave me the motivation to write B::LintSubs, by the way: http://search.cpan.org/~pevans/B-LintSubs-0.02/ > Don't you get the same problem with any non-standard test module? Yes; but Test::More seems to be installed as part of whatever the testing core is on various things that automatically test my CPAN modules. I note whenever I upload something, lots of machines around the world manage to automatically test it. I use Test::More everywhere and they can cope. > If you alread yhave some CPAN dependencies then adding another for > testing is perfecctly reasonable.

That said, the consensus on #perl/Freenode is that the latter isn't really ready yet, so just use the former.
