Hi All,

Just jumping into the middle of this discussion.  I am pretty sure
that Test::More runs fine on older architectures, it is just not
installed by default.  Also, you would be hard-pressed to find a
distribution on CPAN (at least from the list of quality/well
maintained modules) that do not use Test::More.  I would think that it
is a reasonable requirement to add.

One thing to keep in mind is that a test suite is only good if it is
bug free.  Using a tried and tested module like Test::More could
reduce the likelyhood of errors creaping into the test suite.

Cheers,

Cees

ps for those of you wondering why I am on this list, I wrote the
JavaScript port of Number::Format.  If anyone is interested in helping
me out with that, let me know (it is in CVS on sourceforge already).
My aim is to keep it as a 100% clone of the per version.
