So, we can either use one generic test script, and write the perl6 ourselves...or we can create N specific test scripts which generate the perl6 for us given a particular data set and after we have written the perl6 ourselves. Sounds like duplication of effort and a maintenance problem to me. I would rather stick with writing the perl6 and its output. Tanton
