Dunno, looking for a way where we can harness the authors for producing tests in the least-intimidating way. I'm not really thinking that the tests will be a useful, displayable part of the docs, but I figure the closer we can tie it into writing each docs section, the more likely we'll be to get contributors to actually think about it & do it. I could be wrong there, tho...Why use POD like this instead of a more atomic version of the standard testing format used by Perl 5? We can use the directory structure to organize things. Since most tests are not worthy of inclusion in the docs (do you really want "$foo eq reverse scalar reverse $foo" in the documentation for reverse()?) I don't see why we can't do this.
