A plea for more tests for Perldoc

[Sean M. Burke]

Perldoc (as Pod::Perldoc) has basically no real tests.  I have some 
experience writing tests for fairly typical modules, but Perldoc, even tho 
it's wrapped up in a module Pod::Perldoc, is really an application.  And I 
have no experience writing tests for an application, particularly when the 
behavior of the application can involve emitting to STDOUT and/or to 
STDERR, looking hither and yon in the filesystem, and even starting up a pager.

So I hereby invite any and all kind souls to write tests for Perldoc, to be 
distributed as t/*.t files in the Pod::Perldoc dist.  Email them to me as 
attachments, to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Be sure to include your name and email 
address in a comment in the file, to make sure that you receive due credit 
and gloooory (as well as any puzzled questions I might have).  As a testing 
framework, I prefer to keep it simple and use just Test.pm, but if you use 
some other framework, that's probably fine too.
