I started using Test::Inline, and I have two related comments. (I hope
this is the right place to bring them up.)
1. I don't think that pod2test should do anything more than the minimum
to construct a valid test script. Anything else that is useful
should be part of the standard Test:: modules.
2. I don't like it capturing STDOUT and STDERR when I don't ask for it.
I realize that well-behaved tests shouldn't write directly to
STDOUT, but since the point of tests is that code is not always
well-behaved, it's nice to get the clues that STDOUT and STDERR may
provide. There are of course better ways to capture this output
when that's desired.
I also want to add that the amount and quality of testing support in
Perl is really gratifying. When I did a large project in Perl several
years ago, I felt the need to write my own test library, but not today.
