Writing tests is another issue...

What should be tested? That length $@ is empty? (which was the problem in  
the bug report)
Or would a proper test be to check that only the SvPV flag is set (and  
that there is no magic, no UTF8, ...) at the start of an eval/after a  
successfull eval? (If so - how does one tests the flags of the SV in the  
test scripts? any examples?)


Kind regards,

Bram
