Since, as you point out, Test::More can't know what's documented and what's not, we have to go with the most common case. Its quite simple. How often would one overload an object and *not* make it part of the public interface? I'm betting not very often. More importantly, I'm *not* betting against the test author. If they wrote a test for string equality (which is what is() pretty much is) then that's what they'll get. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Playstation?
