Subject: Monitoring contradicts documentation.
The docs say: runtests This function starts monitoring the mtime of all files under current working directy. (btw, typo on directly) From manual checking it appears to ignore anything outside of lib/ or t/. It did not react to changes to files in the top level directory nor to changes in bin/. I see from the code its actually only looking for .pm, .pl and .t files. It would be handy if it did monitor everything. Not all testing is about libraries. If the current behavior is intentional, change the docs to match and add in a flag to turn on monitoring all files.
The upcoming 0.68 release fixes this issue.
