Folks may have read that Alias has written Test::Inline 2.00 http://use.perl.org/~Alias/journal/23653
I've given up all illusions that I'm ever going to get around to updating Test::Inline so I've handed the namespace over to Alias. There's some things which need to be done before its backwards compatible with the existing TI (like implmenting testing examples) but at least now an alpha can get onto CPAN. Take it away Alias.
