making v6 test suite its own distro

As briefly discussed on #perl6 ... Now that we are fulfilling an intention for Perl 6 to have multiple fully decoupled implementations that are distinct from its spec, Pugs and v6.pm being the largest short term examples, I propose that we make like Sun and its Java VM validation suite, and st

I'm perfectly comfortable with this idea, but what I'm trying to figure out then, is the namespace for my parser. It's a TAP parser, after all. Any suggestions? I see that Adam has suggested a TAPx:: namespace, but there could still be competing TAPx::Parser modules. Don't know if that would

Methods vs. Subs

Is there anything that you can do with a sub (first parameter being some sort of object) that you cannot do with a method? Frex, given: multi method my_method($invocant:); would &topical_call := &my_method.assuming :invocant<$_>; be legal? -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang

Testing various HTML constructs

During web testing using Test::WWW::Mechanize I can check if the current page has the correct links (by fetching all links) and if the pages has the correct forms with the correct input fields. How can I check other HTML constructs? Specifically I know there should be two tables on the page. One
