Subject: Thanks, and a suggestion for "note".
Michael, Thanks so much for your work on Test::Simple/More/Builder. I'd like to share another enhancement that has worked well for me. I wanted to have comments that showed up in verbose mode but note in the condensed mode. It just makes sense to able to have more detailed comments along with more detailed test output. I implemented it like this, for my own project: =head2 note() note "My Comment Only for Verbose Mode" Use this function to create a comment that shows up in verbose test output, but not the bulk test runs. =cut sub note($) { my $msg = shift; print "# $msg\n"; } From looking at the source code for "diag", a proper solution might more complicated, but this worked great for me without any noticeable drawbacks. The name difference of "diag" versus "note" could be improved to better reflect their relationship, but "note" is certainly handy for being so short. Mark

Subject: a plug again for note/explain
From: MARKSTOS [...] cpan.org
Ovid independently developed roughly the same thing, and posted the code for it here: http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35363 sub explain { return unless $ENV{TEST_VERBOSE}; Test::More::diag(@_); } This seems like a very simple and useful to add.

I've (finally) added note() to Test::More.
