Thanks, I've started using it already. :-) Using your suggested google-fu search technique, I noticed that, in addition to Test::Verbose (mentioned by Adrian Howard), it may be worth keeping an eye on libwww-perl-5.69 (t/TEST) and mod_perl-1.28 (t/TEST.PL) since they perform a similar function to your grind. Apache-Test-1.03 (used in modperl2) seems to have evolved into something much more comprehensive; the old mod_perl1 TEST.PL functionality seems to be superseded by Apache::TestHarness run() method. All of the above seem to first chdir into the 't' directory, which I found a bit odd because "make test" runs from the directory below that one. And I imagine quite a few CPAN modules have tests that will fail if run from the 't' directory. Or is writing a test that assumes you are in the directory below the 't' directory considered bad style? (if so, I couldn't find it mentioned in the docs). /-\ http://search.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
