Is Test::More commonly used, considered solid > and widely available? yes it is on all three points. It is the most commonly used test module for Perl, used by thousands of CPAN distributions. Test::More is delivered as core module since 5.8.0 or 5.6.2, so is widely deployed. It is actively maintained and is integrated in a test framework that allows the use and development of further "plug-in" test modules. With that it's conceivable to write a test module specifically for git and its usage scenarios. Regards, Sebastian
