Going along the path of testing the examples in my distribution,
I think it could be generalized. What do you think about this?

Of course some authors don't care about having a community around their
software, and some don't consider their CPAN package as "important" or
"big" enough to warrant a community (despite it probably being licensed
with an open source-friendly license). These people are entirely free to

The one advantage of dedicated examples for me is that I can take that
example file (mostly downloaded from search.cpan.org), run it, modifiy

Cutting and pasting from the docs works as well, no network required. And its

How is that infinite stream different from the no_plan case? Is it
truly infinite or just undetermined? That is, are you trying to code
for the following use case?

Yeah, this is hand-rolled stuff. One example:

As the comment in there says ...
we do not use Test::More or even Test::Simple because we need to test
order of execution... the ok() funcs from those modules assume

Perhaps an infinite stream is just "1.." ?

I love this idea, but here are some issues that we spotted:
1. How does one install tests for modules already installed?
2. If you install a module with already failing tests, you need to track what
the failures are so you can note different failures when you run the test suite

So far I have encountered only one problem with this, when I run
./Build testcover I don't get the coverage report from these
example scripts.
So what do you think about using examples as tests?
How could I convince Devel::Cover to collect cover
In a module I have just started to maintain there were 0 tests
but there were several exampes with their expected output.
As I would like to keep the examples and I would like to have tests
