Yes. Everyone who uses Test::Harness.

It's a patch to Test::Harness::Straps, the documentation of which
disclaims backwards compatibility. I'd like it to work on Windows so as

Half of it was good. The IPC::Open3 code is probably problematic, so it
should revert.
I really like the diagnostic-parsing code, but it's worth discussing
whether to enable this b

Even if you fixed the =/and precedence with parens, to read

then I think the result is still that $x contains any(4,5,6,7).
Funny. I thought $x would contain 'true' here, since C was a
boolean operator. But I could be very wro

Given that Perl 6 won't support an actual do-while loop a la C++ (and
yes, I know that Perl5 didn't either), how would you accomplish that?
That is, I'd like to have a loop that runs once, then checks its
condition to see if it should repeat and continues to repeat as long
as the condition is true.

As far as I can see it, in the example, it's perfectly logical for
