Last I heard, Andrew was willing to require Test::More for testing, so that a Perl script could handle multiple psql connections (perhaps forked) and output test results based on them. But he wasn't as interested in requiring DBI and DBD::Pg, neither of which are in the Perl core and are more of a PITA to install (not huge, but the barrier might as well stay low). > pgTAP isn't really going to help you here, as it runs with *one* > database session, and its main functionality is to format the result of > SQL functions into TAP output, which is not very much like what you > ought to be doing.
