Test::Unit is pretty much dead in the water with no sign of being revived.
Test::Class is the preferred XUnity module. It combines the best bits of
XUnit (inheritable test methods, setup, teardown) with perlish testing
idioms (ie. Test::More and friends). And its actively developed.
There's also the somewhat neglected Test::Inline.
There's also something called Test::SimpleUnit. I may be missing something
but it doesn't look very simple.
