<sigh>

this is a potential SHOW STOPPER. time to think about this...

We have to either 

  (a) jettison 5.00404 compatibility OR

  (b) back-port test suite (sorry jason) OR

  (c) roll own replacement

I don't like any of these. Comments?


(PS - I am not a big, huge, boy this is really making my life easier fan
of Test.pm --- what is wrong with print "ok 2\n";. I don't need a module
for this!)
