[Omaha.pm] 2005 is making a comeback! (Test-Harness-2.56)



I love Test-Harness-2.56 (released 28-Sep-2005 16:10).

It has this shiny feature way at the bottom of 'prove' that I just can't
live without:

  8 tests and 80 subtests skipped.
  Failed 18/293 test scripts, 93.86% okay. 180/17926 subtests failed,
99.00% okay.

For some reason I love that "% okay" stuff.  :)

The latest version kicks out this at the very bottom:

  Files=293, Tests=17761, 2237 wallclock secs ( 0.32 usr  6.26 sys + 185.92
cusr 339.51 csys = 532.01 CPU)
  Result: FAIL

The timing stuff is neat (same as 'time prove'?), but I'm pining for the
summarized 18/293 (93.65% okay) of yesteryear.

There have been 37 releases of Test::Harness since 2.56. I don't know at
what point that favorite feature of mine disappeared, but it's gone in
modern versions.

I've never intentionally been this retro with a CPAN module before. Bummer.

(http://backpan.perl.org lists no versions past 2.56. cpan.perl.org has
2.28 through 3.14. ... Oh, correction: apparently by-module/ is glitchy and
authors/ is where to look. Weird.)
