Subject: Fails to install with Test::More 0.61
Test::More 0.61 has changed the output format, which has broken Test::Builder::Tester. So you are probably going to start getting reports about Test::Exception failing to install. It's already effecting CPAN Testers. As to how to fix? The Test::More changes aren't being backed out, and nobody seems to be fixing Test::Builder::Tester, so there isn't really anything you can do at this point. Test::Exception is going to stay broken with the current versions of Test::More and Test::Builder::Tester until one of the two decides to fix the problem, or you stop using one or the other or both.

The Test::More (well - Test::Builder really) changes should stay since they improve the diagnostic output of test failure. T::B::T should be patched. Show quoted text

At the moment I'm considering patching T::B::T, or moving to something else. My free time is somewhat limited at the moment since I've recently started a new job - but should be fixed soon. Adrian
