    I am trying to bring a Unit testing tool for Perl into my new project at the National Institutes of Health and I found you guys.  I've done a number of XP projects utilizing a number of tools including JUnit, HttpUnit, WebTest, and DbUnit (of which I'm a contributor). 

    I downloaded Test-Unit-0.24.tar.gz and tried to install it, but much like thet the previous poster had a number of Prerequisite problems.  I downloaded the appropriated updates and everything appears to be running fine (for the Prequisite modules that is - Test-Simple-0.47, Class-Inner-0.1, and Test-Harness-2.26).

    I am still getting 2 failed tests in AllTests.pm (28-29 - Coming from WillDie.pm), 14 failed tests in AssertTest.pm (21-23 26 28-36 38), and 1 failed test in try_examples.pm. 

    Just to test things, I downloaded your Test-Unit-0.14 version and everything went smoothly with all tests passed.  I didn't see any disclaimers stating that I needed to be on version 5.8 of Perl (my project is using 5.6 and CAN'T upgrade at this point), so . . . I guess my question is -> is version 0.14 feature rich enough that I should run with this version until I can figure out what the issues are with 0.24 (or do you have any ideas) or should I devote the time to finding out what ELSE I can do about this issue.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Cheers

      Hi Thimothy, Just for your information, the tests did not work using Perl 5.8 either (but then I'm not sure I got the right modules).

      Btw. do you have any pointer to where you downloded the files you mention above? If I'll get hold of them I could notify you if Perl 5.8 is the issue.

      Best regards,
      Jan
