Ignoring the other issues and focusing on the important one: test.pl does not count as "tests." I've read through it and it looks reasonably comprehensive (tough to say, though), but it doesn't play well with Test::Harness. That's why it has all of the test failures being reported. Why the author decided to ignore the standard way of reporting tests, I can't say, but this does not inspire any confidence in me. If it starts to use Test::More, Test::Class, or some other testing tool that reports its output to Test::Harness, I'll take another look. Right now, because this type of software would be foundational, I can't recommend it. That would be irresponsible of me. (By this token, I even admit that a lot of my older code falls into the "can't recommend" category.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
