Test::Unit::Result - unit testing framework helper class

       This class is used by the framework to record the results of tests, which will throw an instance of a
       subclass of Test::Unit::Exception in case of errors or failures.

       To achieve this, this class gets called with a test case as argument.  It will call this test case's run
       method back and catch any exceptions thrown.

       It could be argued that Test::Unit::Result is the heart of the PerlUnit framework, since TestCase classes
       vary, and you can use one of several Test::Unit::TestRunners, but we always gather the results in a
       Test::Unit::Result object.

       This is the quintessential call tree of the communication needed to record the results of a given test:

           $aTestCase->run() {
               # creates result
               $aTestResult->run($aTestCase) {
                   # catches exception and records it
                   $aTestCase->run_bare() {
                       # runs test method inside eval
                       $aTestCase->run_test() {
                           # calls method $aTestCase->name()
                           # and propagates exception
                           # method will call Assert::assert()
                           # to cause failure if test fails on
                           # test assertion
                           # it finds this because $aTestCase is-a Assert
                       }
                   }
               }
           }

       Note too that, in the presence of Test::Unit::TestSuites, this call tree can get a little more
       convoluted, but if you bear the above in mind it should be apparent what's going on.
