This is a general problem with the way some of the testing modules work. They output their diagnostic messages as comments to STDERR. They should send them instead to STDOUT so that it can be synced. TAP does support comments, so I'm not sure why those modules do that. This doesn't resolve the problem of non-test modules emitting things to STDERR that could be useful when tracking down bugs, but what they might print is not TAP, so can't really be associated with particular tests. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
