My first thought was also "label", but that word already has the meaning in many languages (including Perl) of "arbitrary point to which control jumps". Casting my vote for "description". Also, is anything ever *done* with these chunks of text? When I first started using Test::More, I expected that I'd get that text when a test failed instead of just a line number. -- Shawn Boyette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
