  Wow, I had no idea the perl parser was that loose. A better approach than expanding the allowed list syntaxes would be to deprecate the reversed syntax and make it emit a warning, and then remove it completely in a...

• Nick Patch commented on smart-matching and sub funhouse

  I should note though that those examples are just for comparison. If you actually only have a single method call in your block and aren't performing exception handling, it's much simpler:

  say open('file.txt').slurp;

  Hi there David!

  I have just created an issue for that: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3489038&group_id=351793&atid=1470127

  I will work on this in the next days. Feel free to add any comments, suggestions.

  When I wrote tap4j, I had a short deadline to deliver it for an internal project too. So probably there is room for improvements in both, tap4j and TAP Plug-in (in the latter, mainly due to the fact that I code Java everyday, but still have a loooot…

  Thanks for reporting the issue! I'm back working on my Open Source projects, probably until July/August.

  I'm currently working on a YAMLish issue in tap4j (this was reported in GitHub), and after this one I'll focus in integration tests for Perl x tap4j.

  Feel free to drop a message and check the status if I take too long to update the issue.

  All the best,
  Bruno

• Jeff Ober commented on Simplified error cleanup with Filter::Cleanup

  That's excellent. In retrospect, XS is a very obvious way to deal with that :)

• Mark Stosberg commented on Perl testing with Jenkins/Hudson: avoiding some pitfalls

  I also tried the TAP plugin for Jenkins/Hudson and couldn't get it to work.

  We are doing parallel testing with -j4, so the hack of manually running each script with "perl" won't work. and I couldn't get --archive to produce any results for me. (Perhaps it's not compatible with parallel testing). We also use "done_testing()", so perhaps that it is part of the issue as well.

  However, emitting JUnit works fine, I was just hoping to get TAP integration to work!
