I then planned to deliver somewhere the .t file I have written that reads NormalizationTest.txt as input and converts all its tests to TAP style. There would be no code changes involved to the current Normalize package. But if this were to be added to that package, it would break things on older Perls, since they don't have the respective NormalizationTest.txt file for the version of Unicode they are shipped with. And including the 5.2 .txt file wouldn't work as it is different for each Unicode version. Thus this test couldn't be part of Unicode::Normalize, but would be something that is added to MANIFEST and would be run as part of 'make test'. Correct me if I'm wrong.Thread Previous | Thread Next
