Test​::Harness​::Beyond does not seem to have ever been a core module
according to corelist, and doesn't seem to be in the perl tarball - it's
only part of Test-Harness on CPAN. Thus it shouldn't be listed in
perlmodlib.

The core distribution does include a file called cpan/Test-Harness/lib/TAP/Harness/Beyond.pod. If you build the core distro, this gets installed as lib/TAP/Harness/Beyond.pod.

Upstream, this file is found at​:
https://metacpan.org/pod/release/LEONT/Test-Harness-3.42/lib/TAP/Harness/Beyond.pod

However, *internally* that document refers to Test​::Harness​::Beyond.

#####
NAME

Test​::Harness​::Beyond - Beyond make test
#####

I suspect this is for historical reasons -- the supercession of Test/Harness by TAP/Harness.

I'm not sure what has to change upstream and what has to change in blead to avoid this confusion. LeonT, list​: suggestions?

Thank you very much.

I missed that it is located under a different name. That's still a problem IMO as `perldoc Test​::Harness​::Beyond` won't work and similarly it's not accessible under that name on https://perldoc.pl. Whichever name is chosen, the path should match.

Thanks

Yeah, this looks like a historic accident. I think TAP​::Harness is the
more logical name.
