I think the suggestion to use Test::Legacy was based on the statement 'backwards compatibility reasons' require me to use Test.pm. I should have been clearer in my explanation; the module author is not permitting me to use any additional modules that aren't included in perl 5.6.0 to test his module. Therefore, I am restricted to only using Test.pm for testing the module.
If I had the flexibility of specifying additional dependancies, I would gladly move to Test::Simple or Test::More. If only I could convince the author to let me bundle additional test modules with his distribution... - walt On 4/12/05, Tels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Moin, > > On Tuesday 12 April 2005 22:15, Michael G Schwern wrote: > > On Tue, Apr 12, 2005 at 01:39:59PM -0500, Walter Goulet wrote: > > > I can't use Test::Simple, I have to use Test.pm for this module for > > > backwards compatibility reasons. > > > > Try Test::Legacy, it gives you an upgrade path away from Test.pm. > > http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Legacy/ > > > > It almost perfectly emulates the Test.pm interface and it works in > > conjunction with other test modules.
