2007-01-20 Thread Ovid
Hi all, Andy Lester sent me an email (which I'm relaying with permission) saying that he feels the TAPx::Parser distribution is a good candidate for Test::Harness 3.0. To see how well this works, Andy Armstrong is now working on TAPx::Harness::Compatible. All of the Test::Harness tests have been
