That's what I do with my Test:: modules. The test description is
optional, and if not provided the module generates a (hopefully)
sensible default.

As I write my first set of Test::Builder based tests I'm looking for a
way to test the tests themselves, and make sure that they're doing the
right thing.
A quick peruse of CPAN has thrown up Test::Builder::Tester and Test::Tester.
I've seen quite a few modules that use Test::Builder::Tester,

How will the module behave on platforms that don't have symlinks?
In theory symlink_ok() will automatically skip any tests that it's asked
to do if symlinks aren't supported.
Since I don't have systems that I can test it on wher

My concern with symlink_ok() is that I'll go to use it and

That's why the docs suggests using Perl's fat comma operator as an aid.

Having been a little more prolific on the module front recently I'm

Preferably before I put them on CPAN.
But poking through qa.perl.org I can't find anywhere that these tests

What is kwalitee?
Kwalitee is inexact quality. We don't know exactly what it is,
but we know it when we see it.
Isn't that backwards? I thought 'kwalitee' was supposed to be a metric
that was exact, and that (hopefully) had some corr
