Write tests, not scripts that run them

Writing table-driven tests is usually a good idea. Adding a test case doesn't require adding code, so it's easy to avoid fucking up the other tests. However, actually going from a table of tests to a test that runs is non-trivial. Test::TableDriven makes writing the test drivers trivial. You simply define your test cases and write a function that turns the input data into output data to compare against. Test::TableDriven will compute how many tests need to be run, and then run the tests. Concentrate on your data and what you're testing, not plan tests = scalar keys %test_cases> and a big foreach loop.
