Personally I don't mind much files leftover from the test suite. When there are failing tests, it's nice to have the input around. However they shouldn't clutter the 'parrot' directory. How about adding a Parrot::Test::get_temp_dir() that gives a path to a sandbox directory, that can safely be cleaned up? Later Parrot::Test::get_temp_dir() could be taught about things like cross compilation and read-only source directories. CU, Bernhard -- /* [EMAIL PROTECTED] */
