Just thought I would follow this up with my alternative solution to this (for anyone who is curious or has a similar issue).

After reading more on Test::More I decided to use the pass and fail functions instead. This means I can do a normal if statement with the regex pattern matching and pass $1 or $& into them instead. For example:

if ($sel->get_value("name=wlSsid_wl0v0") =~ /(\S{1,})/) {
pass("1000.0362 SSID - $1 - was displayed on the wireless settings pag
+e");
} else {
fail("1000.0362 SSID - $1 - was displayed on the wireless settings pag
+e");
}

It's a bit more clunky but does the job nicely.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
