Are you generating the new representation from the old representation using a Perl program, or generating the new representation anew by running the tests? If the former there would be less chance of an unnoticed change. But as the main program itself is not changing, I think there is little chance of a bug being introduced either way. > > Something else new for the test suite is that if the Perl Text::Diff > module is installed, checked at runtime, the comparisons of old and new > results for text can use a diff instead of showing expected and obtained. > In general the diff should be more readable. > > -- > Pat >
