(→‎Perl 6 comment: origin of the mystery message)
Line 14:
Hi Timtoady, I put the comment <code># Looks like you failed 2 tests of 17</code> outside the <nowiki><pre>...</pre></nowiki> block (but still in the output section) just to emphasise that it was not output printed by the program but something added in after. Or so I thought after scanning the Perl 6 source for that line as code. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 17:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
:That summary is output by the Test module we're using. Test Anything Protocol (TAP) has a long and storied history in Perl—most Perl modules come with oodles of tests, so it's pretty baked into the culture to use Test (or one of its derivatives) whenever you can. So there's no explicit print of the summary; it just happens automatically on any test exit with less than full success. It's a comment so that TAP will ignore it. --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] ([[User talk:TimToady|talk]]) 03:58, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
