Subject: Should be verbose by default
Test::Compile is not verbose by default and there is no easy way to make it so. The workaround I have come to is to use Test::Compile::Internal and its verbose setting. Showing verbose error messages will help when the test is run by a third party, e.g. CPAN testers. With them you get an error report, which lacks any details about the error and it is rather hard to guess what the problem could be. If you don't think being verbose by default is a good idea, then at least make it easier to turn verbose on with the current clean interface without resorting to Test::Compile::Internal. Thanks!
Yes, good idea. I'll prepare an update as soon as possible so that Test::Compile defaults to verbose.
Test::Compile is once again verbose by default. Thanks again for you bug report. I hope this resolves your issue.
