ReadMe.txt for fit-a021027.pl.zip, and alpha-quality translation of
Ward Cunningham's Fit framework (http://fit.c2.com/).

This version corresponds to fit-b021021j.tgz

Major limitations:

* Perl does not support formal parameter lists, meaning no method signatures
  that include argument types. I had to rename a few methods 

* Perl supports limited introspection. Because there are no method signatures,
  it isn't possible to determine method return types. Without known return
  types, the "right" TypeAdapters can't be set up. This causes problems
  with RowFixtures and ActionFixtures.

* Perl supports a limited set of primitive types. I use a GenericTypeAdapter
  that knows about strings and numbers (and pretends to know about booleans).

What's needed next is a mechanism for Domain objects to communicate return
type info to the framework.

Still, the framework works.

Minor limitations in this release:

* The MusicExample uses a clock that doesn't have millisecond accuracy. This
  throws off the clock by a second during one of the tests.

* Dates and times aren't formatted.
  
* The directory structure doesn't match that used in the Java source.

To run this on Win32, unzip this into a new or clean directory, and invoke
the following from a command prompt:

   C:> perl WikiRunner.pl ExampleTests.html out.html
