Request for feature: file_contains_ok about test-file

[briandfoy]

   file_contains_ok($myfile, qw/^\d{8}:/m, 'file has a datestamped line in the expected format');

These are all good ideas. For this one, file_contains_like seems
better. I'd like to match the Test::More interface, so _like for
regex, _ok for exact, and so on.

If you're really motivated, I can just make you a comaintainer of the
module. What's your PAUSE ID?

Well, I'm really motivated right now, at least. ;-> Actually, $work is just firing up a rearchitecture project that I'll be on for the next year at least, and much of it will be done using TDD, so I will probably be motivated for at least that long. I'm currently co-maintainer of Method::Signatures with schwern, so I have a bit of experience.

What's your PAUSE ID?

BAREFOOT.

There, implementation done. Should be on the pull request (#2).

You are now a co-maintainer, so you can release new versions.

I'd like to be more help, but I'm just doing too many things right
now. So, I'll just give you the keys to the car. :)

Not a problem. I'll drive carefully, I promise. :) Is there anything you want to tell me about how she drives before I take off? By which I mean, shal I just start releasing as I see fit, or do you want to do a quick approval before a release? any other special instructions so I make sure to leave the car in as good a shape (or hopefully better) than I found her in?

Also, I presume you don't want me to release from my fork (as that would put the upstream repo out of date), so you may want to make me a collaborator here. :)

[briandfoy]

You are now a collaborator.

I typically release as a dev release, see that everything works, fix
things, and release a stable version when it's all fixed.

I don't need to do a quick approval. We don't have to be perfect
because it's easy to fix anything we mess up. You're probably going to
make mistakes, but then we all do. Just go for it.

I don't want to get in the way of progress, and I'm feeling a bit
overloaded at the moment so I'm reducing my to-do list and trying not
to block people. :)

Excellent!

Yep, that's how I do it as well. Thank for CPAN Testers!

Sounds good. I'll get a dev release out before the end of the week.

Hey, they way I look at it, you've done a great deal for Perl, and for me personally. I use Test::Output all the time, it seems like every other question I look up on Google has an answer from you on Stack Overflow, and I was just poking around in the new edition of Effective Perl not two days ago. I'm happy to give back what little I can as a way of saying "thanks for all you do." :-)
