thanks shmem and all

In effect this sounds the wiser thing to do. I have modified my .t file to just emit a warning via diag

my $tenk; $tenk += 1 + int( rand(6) ) for 1..10000; my $avg = $tenk/10000; # $avg = 5; # uncomment this line to provoke the warning if ( ($avg < 3.4) or ($avg > 3.6) ){ diag("\n\n\nPROBLEM: you got an average of $avg while was expected + a value > 3.4 and < 3.6\n\n\n". "The average was made on 10000 results.\n". "This can happen in old Perl distribution on some platform +.\n". "In future distributions of this module you might be able +to load a different random number generator\n\n\n\n") } else{ ok ( $avg > 3.4, "average randomness ok (10000d6 / 10000 > 3.4)" ) +; ok ( $avg < 3.6, "average randomness ok (10000d6 / 10000 < 3.6)" ) +; }

L*

UPDATE nothing critical nor crucial: I'm just started a little project just to clean my rusty hands: it was a long time (for me) without coding :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
