in reply to Testing programs

Why use a command line argument for testing? I sometimes stick my tests in a separate file and do() them when I want to.

In my program...

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings; 
use strict;

do "tests.pl";

sub foo { "foo" }

And then in tests.pl ...

use Test::Simple tests => 1;
ok( foo() eq 'foo' );
exit;

Then I can just comment out my do "tests.pl"; line when I'm done with it.
