I'm glad you find no_plan useful. Many others do as well. I use plans consistently, and have written a policy in Perl::Critic::Bangs that checks for no_plan (I think that's where I put it) and flags it as an error. The assumptions you're talking about are not assumptions. They are well-worn tenets of TAP and Perl testing that many people use and rely on. xoa -- Andy Lester => andy@petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance
