NAME
Test::Regression - Test library that can be run in two modes: once to generate outputs and secondly to compare against them
VERSION
Version 0.02
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Regression; ok_regression(sub {return "hello world"}, "t/out/hello_world.txt");
EXPORT
ok_regression
FUNCTIONS
ok_regression
This function requires two arguments: a CODE ref and a file path. The CODE ref is expected to return a SCALAR string which can be compared against previous runs. If the TEST_REGRESSION_GEN is set to a true value, then the CODE ref is run and the output written to the file. Otherwise the output of the file is compared against the contents of the file. There is a third optional argument which is the test name.

BUGS
Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-test-regression at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Test-Regression. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
testing of STDERR
The testing of stderr from this module is not as thorough as I would like. Test::Builder::Tester allows turning off of stderr checking but not matching by regular expression. Handcrafted efforts currently fall foul of Test::Harness. Still it is I believe adequately tested in terms of coverage.
