NAME

Acme::Test::42 - Test the answer to ultimate question

SYNOPSIS

use Acme::Test::42 qw(no_plan);
# . . .
ok($answer, 'Answer to the question');
not_ok($answer / 2, 'Not an answer');

ABSTRACT

Acme::Test::42 provides a mechanism for probing if the answer is correct.

DESCRIPTION

Acme::Test::42 exports two subroutines, ok and not_ok, each of them expects two arguments: the answer and optional comment.

The module is based on standard Test::Builder and follows the TAP standard but unlike Test::Simple and Test::More does not expect true or false values and checks if the given value is an answer to the ultimate question of life, the Universe, and everything.

Perl people often use this answer in their talks (see http://www.slideshare.net/newsearch/slideshow?q=perl) and as a boolean value returned by Perl packages (see Acme::ReturnValue), which makes Acme::Test::42 so important.
