You shouldn't need it, but it can't hurt. > Can anybody give me a definitive version of when TODO tests started > working in Test::Harness? From the Changes file I'm currently assuming > everything after Test::Harness 2.03 inclusive should be okay. Old-style TODO tests were added long ago, somewhere between 5.4.4 and 5.4.5. New-style TODO tests, as we know them, were added somewhere between 1.19 and 1.22. In 1.23 they worked reasonably well. 2.03 is the last version in which a bug in TODO parsing was fixed. That's the minimum version you should be requiring for TODO test support. > Personally, I would tend towards leaving the prerequisites to > Test::Builder alone.

I'm all for leaving them alone since they already contain a prereq on Test::Harness. The problem is the installation is almost always screwed up, an old version of T::H winds up shadowing. -- Michael G.
