Well, it would be better to integrate the test in with something else, ideally, but I saw the ITP and thought "hm, that might be useful to start using with all my Perl projects." Checking a file for lack of tabs is relatively easy, but locating all the Perl stuff in a source tree is a bit trickier, and rolling those two things together so that one can write a one- or two-line test is fairly useful. It would be nice if that, Test::Pod, Test::Fixme, Test::Synopsis, Test::MinimumVersion, and piles of other similar modules could be rolled together into one distribution. But that's really an upstream problem. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
