This is a bug report for perl from smylers@stripey.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.19.4.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
perlhack, in its TESTING section, says that tests other than in specific
subdirectories should use Test::More (rather than t/test.pl).
But t/porting/test_bootstrap.t specifically tests that no t/**.t files
use Test::More — adding the line:
use Test::More;
into a test in t/porting/ (not one of the directories perlhack mentions
as requiring ad-hoc testing or test.pl) makes test_bootstrap.t fail.
These obviously contradict each other, and I don't know what should be
used for a new test in t/porting/.
Either test_bootstrap.t needs restricting to the directories mentioned
in perlhack, or the advice in perlhack needs changing to say never to
use Test::More.
