RFC: Test::Warn
Hi! Sometimes I want to test, whether a module gives a (special) warning or not. I couldn't find a module doing this job on CPAN, so I'm ready to write a Test::Warn module. I thought that two methods should be implemented: warns_ok BLOCK REGEX, TEST_NAME (regex and test_name are optional) no_warns_ok BLOCK TEST_NAME (test_name is optional) (similar to throws_ok and lives_ok from Test::Exception) I'd like to know what you are thinking about ?, especially: - is it already on CPAN - Name: Test::Warn / Test::Warning / Test::Warnings / ... - method names - missing functionality Thanks in advance, Janek

It might be nice if you could check for Carp methods, too. I've found myself doing that several times. -- c
