Allow some sort of ordering for the tests to be run. * Let the user specify the list entirely. * Let the user specify the starting order. * Let the user specify the ending order. * Allow randomizing the middle tests. -- Andy Lester => andy@petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance

Why put this into Test::Harness? runtests() just takes a list. Let the user do it. runtests(@files); # user specified list runtests(sort { int(rand 3) -1 } , @files); # random list! -- Michael G Schwern schwern@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Stupid am I? Stupid like a fox!

But prove can just call runtests() with the list ordered how it likes. You don't need any special Test::Harness functionality for that. Maybe the description wasn't clear? Are you putting this in prove or Test::Harness? -- Michael G Schwern schwern@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ 11. Every old idea will be proposed again with a different name and a different presentation, regardless of whether it works. -- RFC 1925
