Dear TAP Maintainers,
thanks to Andy Lester I was informed that Wikipedia's article on TAP still
links to an old version of the specification. Please change that if
possible (see forwarded part of this mail).
The reason I've written Andy in the first place was that I wasn't sure
which are the official borders of N in the PLAN line `1..N`. Especially for
the case that I have one test case I am not sure if it is okay for TAP
parsers if I write `1..1`. Because there is one example which writes `1..0`
I suppose any positive integer is acceptable, stating it clearly in the
specification would still be helpful, though, because then I could be sure
that parser writers should consider that point. Please update the
subsection "the Plan" accordingly.
Thanks for creating and maintaining this specification! It helps a lot in
developing useful tools!
All the Best
Erik

That's pretty old, and I probably ought to delete that Test::Harness
after all these years.
For everything related to TAP, go to http://testanything.org/ The
latest & greatest specification is there.
