+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module simplifies the task of writing test files for Perl modules,
+such that their output is in the format that
+L<Test::Harness|Test::Harness> expects to see.
+
+=head1 QUICK START GUIDE
+
+To write a test for your new (and probably not even done) module, create
+a new file called F<t/test.t> (in a new F<t> directory). If you have
+multiple test files, to test the "foo", "bar", and "baz" feature sets,
+then feel free to call your files F<t/foo.t>, F<t/bar.t>, and
+F<t/baz.t>
+
+=head2 Functions
+
+This module defines three public functions, C<plan(...)>, C<ok(...)>,
+and C<skip(...)>. By default, all three are exported by
+the C<use Test;> statement.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<plan(...)>
+
+ BEGIN { plan %theplan; }
+
+This should be the first thing you call in your test script. It
+declares your testing plan, how many there will be, if any of them
+should be allowed to fail, and so on.
+
+Typical usage is just:
+
+ use Test;
+ BEGIN { plan tests => 23 }
+
+These are the things that you can put in the parameters to plan:
+
+=over
+
+=item C<tests =E<gt> I<number>>
+
+The number of tests in your script.
+This means all ok() and skip() calls.
+
+=item C<todo =E<gt> [I<1,5,14>]>
+
+A reference to a list of tests which are allowed to fail.
+See L</TODO TESTS>.
+
+=item C<onfail =E<gt> sub { ... }>
+
+=item C<onfail =E<gt> \&some_sub>
+
+A subroutine reference to be run at the end of the test script, if
+any of the tests fail. See L</ONFAIL>.
+
+=back
+
+You must call C<plan(...)> once and only once. You should call it
+in a C<BEGIN {...}> block, like so:
+
+ BEGIN { plan tests => 23 }
+

+=item C<ok(...)>
+
+ ok(1 + 1 == 2);
+ ok($have, $expect);
+ ok($have, $expect, $diagnostics);
+
+This function is the reason for C<Test>'s existence. It's
+the basic function that
+handles printing "C<ok>" or "C<not ok>", along with the
+current test number. (That's what C<Test::Harness> wants to see.)
+
+In its most basic usage, C<ok(...)> simply takes a single scalar
+expression. If its value is true, the test passes; if false,
+the test fails. Examples:
+
+ # Examples of ok(scalar)
+
+ ok( 1 + 1 == 2 ); # ok if 1 + 1 == 2
+ ok( $foo =~ /bar/ ); # ok if $foo contains 'bar'
+ ok( baz($x + $y) eq 'Armondo' ); # ok if baz($x + $y) returns
+ # 'Armondo'
+ ok( @a == @b ); # ok if @a and @b are the same length
+
+The expression is evaluated in scalar context. So the following will
+work:
+
+ ok( @stuff ); # ok if @stuff has any elements
+ ok( !grep !defined $_, @stuff ); # ok if everything in @stuff is
+ # defined.
+
+A special case is if the expression is a subroutine reference (in either
+C<sub {...}> syntax or C<\&foo> syntax). In
+that case, it is executed and its value (true or false) determines if
+the test passes or fails. For example,
+
+ ok( sub { # See whether sleep works at least passably
+ my $start_time = time;
+ sleep 5;
+ time() - $start_time >= 4
+ });
+
+In its two-argument form, C<ok(I<arg1>, I<arg2>)> compares the two
+scalar values to see if they match. They match if both are undefined,
+or if I<arg2> is a regex that matches I<arg1>, or if they compare equal
+with C<eq>.
+
+ # Example of ok(scalar, scalar)
+
+ ok( "this", "that" ); # not ok, 'this' ne 'that'
+ ok( "", undef ); # not ok, "" is defined
+
+The second argument is considered a regex if it is either a regex
+object or a string that looks like a regex. Regex objects are
+constructed with the qr// operator in recent versions of perl. A
+string is considered to look like a regex if its first and last
+characters are "/", or if the first character is "m"
+and its second and last characters are both the
+same non-alphanumeric non-whitespace character. These regexp
+
+Regex examples:
+
+ ok( 'JaffO', '/Jaff/' ); # ok, 'JaffO' =~ /Jaff/
+ ok( 'JaffO', 'm|Jaff|' ); # ok, 'JaffO' =~ m|Jaff|
+ ok( 'JaffO', qr/Jaff/ ); # ok, 'JaffO' =~ qr/Jaff/;
+ ok( 'JaffO', '/(?i)jaff/ ); # ok, 'JaffO' =~ /jaff/i;
+
+If either (or both!) is a subroutine reference, it is run and used
+as the value for comparing. For example:
+
+ ok sub {
+ open(OUT, ">x.dat") || die $!;
+ print OUT "\x{e000}";
+ close OUT;
+ my $bytecount = -s 'x.dat';
+ unlink 'x.dat' or warn "Can't unlink : $!";
+ return $bytecount;
+ },
+ 4
+ ;
+
+The above test passes two values to C<ok(arg1, arg2)> -- the first
+a coderef, and the second is the number 4. Before C<ok> compares them,
+it calls the coderef, and uses its return value as the real value of
+this parameter. Assuming that C<$bytecount> returns 4, C<ok> ends up
+testing C<4 eq 4>. Since that's true, this test passes.
+
+Finally, you can append an optional third argument, in
+C<ok(I<arg1>,I<arg2>, I<note>)>, where I<note> is a string value that
+will be printed if the test fails. This should be some useful
+information about the test, pertaining to why it failed, and/or
+a description of the test. For example:
+
+ ok( grep($_ eq 'something unique', @stuff), 1,
+ "Something that should be unique isn't!\n".
+ '@stuff = '.join ', ', @stuff
+ );
+
+Unfortunately, a note cannot be used with the single argument
+style of C<ok()>. That is, if you try C<ok(I<arg1>, I<note>)>, then
+C<Test> will interpret this as C<ok(I<arg1>, I<arg2>)>, and probably
+end up testing C<I<arg1> eq I<arg2>> -- and that's not what you want!
+
+All of the above special cases can occasionally cause some
+problems. See L</BUGS and CAVEATS>.

+=item C<skip(I<skip_if_true>, I<args...>)>
+
+This is used for tests that under some conditions can be skipped. It's
+basically equivalent to:
+
+ if( $skip_if_true ) {
+ ok(1);
+ } else {
+ ok( args... );
+ }
+
+...except that the C<ok(1)> emits not just "C<ok I<testnum>>" but
+actually "C<ok I<testnum> # I<skip_if_true_value>>".
+
+The arguments after the I<skip_if_true> are what is fed to C<ok(...)> if
+this test isn't skipped.
+
+Example usage:
+
+ my $if_MSWin =
+ $^O =~ m/MSWin/ ? 'Skip if under MSWin' : '';
+
+ # A test to be skipped if under MSWin (i.e., run except under MSWin)
+ skip($if_MSWin, thing($foo), thing($bar) );
+
+Or, going the other way:
+
+ my $unless_MSWin =
+ $^O =~ m/MSWin/ ? '' : 'Skip unless under MSWin';
+
+ # A test to be skipped unless under MSWin (i.e., run only under MSWin)
+ skip($unless_MSWin, thing($foo), thing($bar) );
+
+The tricky thing to remember is that the first parameter is true if
+you want to I<skip> the test, not I<run> it; and it also doubles as a
+note about why it's being skipped. So in the first codeblock above, read
+the code as "skip if MSWin -- (otherwise) test whether C<thing($foo)> is
+C<thing($bar)>" or for the second case, "skip unless MSWin...".
+
+Also, when your I<skip_if_reason> string is true, it really should (for
+backwards compatibility with older Test.pm versions) start with the
+string "Skip", as shown in the above examples.
+
+Note that in the above cases, C<thing($foo)> and C<thing($bar)>
+I<are> evaluated -- but as long as the C<skip_if_true> is true,
+then we C<skip(...)> just tosses out their value (i.e., not
+bothering to treat them like values to C<ok(...)>. But if
+you need to I<not> eval the arguments when skipping the
+test, use
+this format:
+
+ skip( $unless_MSWin,
+ sub {
+ # This code returns true if the test passes.
+ # (But it doesn't even get called if the test is skipped.)
+ thing($foo) eq thing($bar)
+ }
+ );
+
+or even this, which is basically equivalent:
+
+ skip( $unless_MSWin,
+ sub { thing($foo) }, sub { thing($bar) }
+ );
+
+That is, both are like this:
+
+ if( $unless_MSWin ) {
+ ok(1); # but it actually appends "# $unless_MSWin"
+ # so that Test::Harness can tell it's a skip
+ } else {
+ # Not skipping, so actually call and evaluate...
+ ok( sub { thing($foo) }, sub { thing($bar) } );
+ }

+=head1 TEST TYPES
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * NORMAL TESTS
+
+These tests are expected to succeed. Usually, most or all of your tests
+are in this category. If a normal test doesn't succeed, then that
+means that something is I<wrong>.
+
+=item * SKIPPED TESTS
+
+The C<skip(...)> function is for tests that might or might not be
+possible to run, depending
+on the availability of platform-specific features. The first argument
+should evaluate to true (think "yes, please skip") if the required
+feature is I<not> available. After the first argument, C<skip(...)> works
+exactly the same way as C<ok(...)> does.
+
+=item * TODO TESTS
+
+TODO tests are designed for maintaining an B<executable TODO list>.
+These tests are I<expected to fail.> If a TODO test does succeed,
+then the feature in question shouldn't be on the TODO list, now
+should it?
+
+Packages should NOT be released with succeeding TODO tests. As soon
+as a TODO test starts working, it should be promoted to a normal test,
+and the newly working feature should be documented in the release
+notes or in the change log.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 ONFAIL
+
+ BEGIN { plan test => 4, onfail => sub { warn "CALL 911!" } }
+
+Although test failures should be enough, extra diagnostics can be
+triggered at the end of a test run. C<onfail> is passed an array ref
+of hash refs that describe each test failure. Each hash will contain
+at least the following fields: C<package>, C<repetition>, and
+C<result>. (You shouldn't rely on any other fields being present.) If the test
+had an expected value or a diagnostic (or "note") string, these will also be
+included.
+
+The I<optional> C<onfail> hook might be used simply to print out the
+version of your package and/or how to report problems. It might also
+be used to generate extremely sophisticated diagnostics for a
+particularly bizarre test failure. However it's not a panacea. Core
+dumps or other unrecoverable errors prevent the C<onfail> hook from
+running. (It is run inside an C<END> block.) Besides, C<onfail> is
+probably over-kill in most cases. (Your test code should be simpler
+than the code it is testing, yes?)
+
+
+=head1 BUGS and CAVEATS
+
+=over
+
+=item *
+
+C<ok(...)>'s special handing of strings which look like they might be
+regexes can also cause unexpected behavior. An innocent:
+
+ ok( $fileglob, '/path/to/some/*stuff/' );
+
+will fail, since Test.pm considers the second argument to be a regex!
+The best bet is to use the one-argument form:
+
+ ok( $fileglob eq '/path/to/some/*stuff/' );
+
+=item *
+
+C<ok(...)>'s use of string C<eq> can sometimes cause odd problems
+when comparing
+numbers, especially if you're casting a string to a number:
+
+ $foo = "1.0";
+ ok( $foo, 1 ); # not ok, "1.0" ne 1
+
+Your best bet is to use the single argument form:
+
+ ok( $foo == 1 ); # ok "1.0" == 1
+
+=item *
+
+As you may have inferred from the above documentation and examples,
+C<ok>'s prototype is C<($;$$)> (and, incidentally, C<skip>'s is
+C<($;$$$)>). This means, for example, that you can do C<ok @foo, @bar>
+to compare the I<size> of the two arrays. But don't be fooled into
+thinking that C<ok @foo, @bar> means a comparison of the contents of two
+arrays -- you're comparing I<just> the number of elements of each. It's
+so easy to make that mistake in reading C<ok @foo, @bar> that you might
+want to be very explicit about it, and instead write C<ok scalar(@foo),
+scalar(@bar)>.
+
+=item *
+
+This almost definitely doesn't do what you expect:
+
+ ok $thingy->can('some_method');
+
+Why? Because C<can> returns a coderef to mean "yes it can (and the
+method is this...)", and then C<ok> sees a coderef and thinks you're
+passing a function that you want it to call and consider the truth of
+the result of! I.e., just like:
+
+ ok $thingy->can('some_method')->();
+
+What you probably want instead is this:
+
+ ok $thingy->can('some_method') && 1;
+
+If the C<can> returns false, then that is passed to C<ok>. If it
+returns true, then the larger expression S<< C<<
+$thingy->can('some_method') && 1 >> >> returns 1, which C<ok> sees as
+a simple signal of success, as you would expect.
+
+
+=item *
+
+The syntax for C<skip> is about the only way it can be, but it's still
+quite confusing. Just start with the above examples and you'll
+be okay.
+
+Moreover, users may expect this:
+
+ skip $unless_mswin, foo($bar), baz($quux);
+
+to not evaluate C<foo($bar)> and C<baz($quux)> when the test is being
+skipped. But in reality, they I<are> evaluated, but C<skip> just won't
+bother comparing them if C<$unless_mswin> is true.
+
+You could do this:
+
+ skip $unless_mswin, sub{foo($bar)}, sub{baz($quux)};
+
+But that's not terribly pretty. You may find it simpler or clearer in
+the long run to just do things like this:
+
+ if( $^O =~ m/MSWin/ ) {
+ print "# Yay, we're under $^O\n";
+ ok foo($bar), baz($quux);
+ ok thing($whatever), baz($stuff);
+ ok blorp($quux, $whatever);
+ ok foo($barzbarz), thang($quux);
+ } else {
+ print "# Feh, we're under $^O. Watch me skip some tests...\n";
+ for(1 .. 4) { skip "Skip unless under MSWin" }
+ }
+
+But be quite sure that C<ok> is called exactly as many times in the
+first block as C<skip> is called in the second block.

+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+If C<PERL_TEST_DIFF> environment variable is set, it will be used as a
+command for comparing unexpected multiline results. If you have GNU
+diff installed, you might want to set C<PERL_TEST_DIFF> to C<diff -u>.
+If you don't have a suitable program, you might install the
+C<Text::Diff> module and then set C<PERL_TEST_DIFF> to be C<perl
+-MText::Diff -e 'print diff(@ARGV)'>. If C<PERL_TEST_DIFF> isn't set
+but the C<Algorithm::Diff> module is available, then it will be used
+to show the differences in multiline results.
+
+=for comment
+If C<PERL_TEST_NO_TRUNC> is set, then the initial "Got 'something' but
+expected 'something_else'" readings for long multiline output values aren't
+truncated at about the 230th column, as they normally could be in some
+cases. Normally you won't need to use this, unless you were carefully
+parsing the output of your test programs.
+
+
+=head1 NOTE
+
+A past developer of this module once said that it was no longer being
+actively developed. However, rumors of its demise were greatly
+exaggerated. Feedback and suggestions are quite welcome.
+
+Be aware that the main value of this module is its simplicity. Note
+that there are already more ambitious modules out there, such as
+L<Test::More> and L<Test::Unit>.
+
+Some earlier versions of this module had docs with some confusing
+typos in the description of C<skip(...)>.
