I don' t know where it falls in skill or teaching target but I strongly prefer the done_testing($n) idiom. The main reason is it lends itself to flexibility and a bit of intention documentation in growing/maintaining tests, for example cases like this–
my %tests = ( case1 => { input => …, output => … },
case2 => { … } );
subtest "Something" => sub {
plan skip_all => "Moon is not full" unless …;
ok 1;
ok 2;
done_testing(2);
};
for my $test ( values %tests )
{
ok $test->{input}, "Have input…";
is process($test->{input}), $test->{output}, "Process works";
}
done_testing( 1 + 2 * keys %tests );

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).
