Re: Testing Output and Functionality

Andy,

Thank you for the reply.

I did try Test::Output but I ran into a Smart::Comments incompatibility.
 This is a sort of corner case to the issue I described where I am trying
to print the Smart::Comments but capture the STDOUT output for testing.
 When I run the following;

use Test::Most;
use Test::Output;
use Smart::Comments '###';
stdout_is( sub{
    print "Hello World\n";
    ### Goodby World ...
}, "Hello World\n", 'Test Hello World' );
done_testing();

I get the following error;

Can't locate object method "TELL" via package "Test::Output::Tie" at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Smart/Comments.pm line 438.

While a warn or carp statement in the same place seems to work just fine
the Smart::Comments don't.  I kind of walked away at that point and started
looking somewhere else.  Should I just be more persistent to fix this issue
or is there another solution?

Best Regards,

Jed
