Subject: Add debugging possibility to tests
Hi, I very often find myself adding and removing debugging code from my tests . Here is a little example: is_deeply(DoSomething(...), 'expected', 'message'); is often written like this: my $result = DoSomething(..); is_deeply(DoSomething(...), 'expected', 'message'); if(Compare($result, 'expected')

I'd rather write: is_deeply(DoSomething(...), 'expected', 'message', "code to eval, or sub, to run if not OK") ; Cheers, Nadim.

All test functions return true when the passes, false if they fail. is_deeply( DoSomething(...), 'expected', 'message' ) or sub_to_run_if_not_ok; Generally one uses diag() to express further diagnostics such as: ok( open FH, $file ) or diag("Can't open $file: $!"); PS This is not the proper queue for Test::More bugs. The proper queue is Test-Simple.
