The coupling problem comes from the issue that the TAP parser/runner (Test::Harness::Straps) is still tightly coupled to a single formatter (Test::Harness). The original idea of THS was to hand a THS object a Test::Harness::Formatter object (Test::Harness would be reduced to one of these, one that produced HTML or XML is another example) and go but I got bogged down worrying about how to write the callback interface. Now that I've figured that out (don't use callbacks, hand the strap a formatter object and use that) maybe I'll take another whack at finishing it up. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern You are wicked and wrong to have broken inside and peeked at the implementation and then relied upon it. -- tchrist in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
