Changes for version 0.06
- Distribution fix: The tarball comes with sample output files generated on the development platform (perl v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi). These files are used by the module tests to validate that the code works correctly regardless of platform. For example, t/process_trace.t processes t/sample.t and generates t/sample.tcpdump. When a user installs Net::Traces::TSH on another machine, the module tests verify that given the same input (t/sample.tsh) the code produces the same output (t/sample.tcpdump). Testing this on Linux and UNIX systems is very easy: simply use _diff_. On systems that lack diff, the tests fail (ver. 0.04 and 0.05). I'd prefer to use a standard "Perl way" to do this, thus avoiding to rely on external programs. Unfortunately , at this time Algorithm::Diff is not a core module so I cannot rely on that either. Currently I employ 30 tests to check that the code does produce the same results, so users of all platforms have assurance that the code works correctly, but a context diff would make most of them redundant. If the platform has diff, it is used as well (31st test).
