  Please. some people just want to use real OO test suite, not just poor Test::Simple.

    Test::Class is the way to go here. It also integrates with all of the standard Perl testing libraries. It doesn't look like Test::Unit::Lite does that.

      Standard Perl testing libraries have poor and ugly non-OO API. Theirs tests also don't die after failure which differs from JUnit, PerlUnit, etc.

        I should also add that if you really want to march to a different drummer and use a piece of software that virtually no one else will touch, that's fine, but at least see if you can submit patches to it so that it can at least output TAP and integrate with standard testing tools.

          Well, yes. It means that the standard testing tool are really TAP protocol and Test::Harness module, not Test::Simple or Test::More.

          BTW, I'd like to see support for nested tests for TAP protocol, something like:
1..3
unit 1..2
ok PASS unit 1/1
ok PASS unit 1/2
unit 1..1
ok PASS unit 2/1
unit 1..3
ok PASS unit 3/1
not ok Something goes wrong with 3/2
ok PASS unit 3/3


          It is sad that the JUnit model really can't be implemented with Perl's TAP because TAP protocol

            Assertion numbers are like version numbers: they're meaningless except insofar as they're different from each other.
