Potential updating of test suite

[barefootcoder]

So, I was working on a module that wants to be compatible with Path::Class. So I thought it made sense that it should pass most (if not all) of Path::Class's unit tests. So I stole 'em. :-D

But, as I was working with them, I started to notice that they really old. Like, super old. Like, pre-Test::More old. And, the more I worked with them, the more I kept tweaking them to be more modern, because that made it easier to find my failures.

So, at some point, it occurred to me: maybe I should share this modernization back with the original module. So, here I am offering to do so. :-)

Specifically, I would:

• change use Test to use Test::More;
• change all the two-argument ok calls to is calls
• change things such as ok $cat->isa('Path::Class::File') to isa_ok($cat, 'Path::Class::File')
• add test names for most (if not all) tests
• anything else I come across that looks in dire need of updating :-)

Is this something you'd be interested in? If so, I'll hold off on my test updating and just update everything in situ, give you a pull request, then I can steal the updated tests for my module. Or, if you don't want this sort of update, I'll happily just keep going in my own little world and not bother you further. :-)

Let me know! And thx for all you do for Perl.

Sure, sounds great! Thanks for the offer.

Okay, I've forked. No promises on when I'll be able to finish it, but I'll keep plugging away at it. :-)
