I've got to run, so I can't review everything you've fed back right now (but I will). However, I needed to take two seconds to at least state that my claim, that the second param into Test::More "is forced into qr//" was unfounded and unjustified. I don't know if that is what happens (I was assuming based on what it's documentation said), nor am I qualified to claim that. I'm sorry to the authors if this is not the case. I don't normally make claims that I'm not certain about, so I recant that statement with apologies, with a promise and desire to find out how it works, and why it does what it does. Steve
