Good point. For complex checks (anything but simple ordering) division into smaller conditions is almost always better.

This makes me think of another function that (1) packs all smaller tests into a subtest (so that it's "array is such-and-such" and not "ok 1, ok 2, ... ok 100500") and (2) provides access to adjacent array elements via $a and $b.

Although possibly it should be just handed off to List::Util::foreach_adjacent (lame name off the top of my head) or smth.

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.
