Like I said, I tried it that way, didn't like it and changed the
behavior. Found myself having trouble keeping track of the test count
as @methods changed size.
The docs are now explicit about can_ok counting as a single test.
They also offer an alternative if you want the multiple increment
behavior:
No matter how many @methods you check, a single can_ok() call counts
as one test. If you desire otherwise, use:
foreach my $meth (@methods) {
can_ok('Foo', $meth);
}
That'll fail even if @methods is empty, the test count will be wrong.

The bug with can_ok() succeeding with no @methods has been fixed.
Trust your test library. Or at least trust that things will be fixed
rapidly. :)

Couldn't now even if I wanted to. Been around too long, would break
too many tests.
