I've just released Test::Harness 2.29, which should be what goes into the upcoming Perl 5.8.1. Its big new feature, such as it is, is that you can set HARNESS_OK_SLOW to true, and not have all the test counts spin by screen, but rather have them update only once per second. If you're on a slow connection, it can be a real time savings.
Personally, I'm just tired of seeing the numbers. At the day job, the project has 9968 tests, and I don't need to see all the spinning test counts any more...
I keep thinking that I don't care about the passing tests, just that they pass. I do care about what failed and I want to see those. The proper answer is probably "use Test::Harness::Straps". But I agree.
