Yes, that's a good idea (the particulars of getting the output format would be interesting), but it will require a lot of internal rejiggering. With the exception of one feature (HARNESS_TODOFAIL), Test::Harness is feature frozen for 5.8. -- Michael G.

Currently it just emits 'skipped: various reasons'. on the "looks nice". I hadn't thought of the better list of reasons, but I agree with what that too. However, if there are 50+ different skip reasons, would it be better to have some sort of cutoff on the amount of extra data per test to show. Something like 10, and then it a ... line and tells you to run the test to see the full output? Nicholas Clark -- Even better than the real thing:http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/
