=head1 NAME

HTTP::WebTest::TestResult - Test results class

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use HTTP::WebTest::TestResult;

    my $result = HTTP::WebTest::TestResult;

    my $bool = $result->ok;
    $result->ok($bool);
    my $comment = $result->comment;
    $result->comment($comment);

    if($result) { ... }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class represent test results.  Test results are
basicly C<ok>/C<not ok> and some attached commentary.

This class overloads C<bool> operation so it can be directly used in
statements that require boolean values.

    if($result) { ... }

is equivalent to

    if($result->ok) { ... }

# this method is used to overload 'bool' operation.  'ok' can't be used
# directly because method which is overloads operation is called with
# some additional arguments which doesn't play nice with accessor
# method like 'ok'
sub _bool { shift->ok }
