Heya, Following up on my patch to Module::Build to add support for Test::Harness, here's a patch that does the same thing for EU::MM. Sure it will have portability problems, but I think you'd have to have a pretty new Perl to use TAP::Harness, anyway, eh? So, what does this break beyond all belief? I don't think that it will break anything except for those perhaps users who try to use it with an older Perl or somewhere where TAP::Harness or Data::Dumper aren't available or don't run. Let me know what you think. Best, David

Remind me again why we want special TAP::Harness support? It appears to do exactly the same thing as Test::Harness. Is it just to pass parameters through to TAP::Harness->new?

Yes, so that I can tell it how to run tests not written in Perl (e.g. pgTAP). Best, David Sent from my iPhone On Sep 27, 2008, at 23:27, "Michael G Schwern via RT" <bug-ExtUtils-MakeMaker@rt.cpan.org Show quoted text

Sorry, I don't want to put special case code into MakeMaker for special test harnesses. I think it's more an inflexibility on TAP::Harness' part that you would need this. See http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39984 for a potential fix at the TAP::Harness level.
