Changes for version 0.59_01 - 2005-04-26

  • Test::Builder now has a create() method which allows you to create a brand spanking new Test::Builder object.
  • require_ok() was not working for single letter module names.
  • is_deeply() and eq_* now work with circular scalar references (Thanks Fergal)
  • Use of eq_* now officially discouraged.
  • Removed eq_* from the SYNOPSIS.
  • is_deeply(undef, $not_undef); now works. [rt.cpan.org 9441]
  • is_deeply() was mistakenly interpeting the same reference used twice in a data structure as being circular causing failures.
    • rt.cpan.org 11623
  • Loading Test::Builder but not using it would interfere with the exit code if the code exited. [rt.cpan.org 12310]
  • is_deeply() diagnostics now disambiguate between stringified references and references. [rt.cpan.org 8865]
  • Files opened by the output methods are now autoflushed.
  • todo() now honors $Level when looking for $TODO.
