Test::* can't handle output from forked children (it traps redirect STDOUT in the current process so it has no access to STDOUT of a child). this is a known problem. there are several ways around it. one, have the child signal the parent which can then report test results. two, have the child send data back to the parent (via a pipe or even a temp file) and then have the parent report results. you can also signal yourself and not need a child. i have a test script for event loops that works in a single process (it uses a socketpair to test i/o events). i can send it to you if you want. obviously it will need major changes to test parrot but the overall setup and test stuff should be useful to you. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org
