  • Is there support for something like variant testing? That is run the same test with different command lines, e.g. 'perl' and 'perl -w' or 'plumhead --variant=phc' and 'plumhead --variant=antlr3'.

    • No, nothing like that had occurred to me.

    • I agree this would be useful. In particular, historically, there have been quite a few perl bugs with taint mode where taint-safe code behaved differently when run in taint mode than when run without tainting. So, running a taint-safe test both with and without taint mode seems like a valuable, dare I say routine, test to perform.
