If I run this script

    ok(1);
    is(foo, 1);

I got the output, which says nothing about the use_ok. It is not
counted as a test, it does not ruin the plan, it does its job
(requiring and importing a &foo subroutine).

    $ perl use_ok_ok.t
    1..2
    ok 1
    ok 2

Is this expected?

No.  You should have gotten an error about lacking a plan.  Its a bug.

The trouble seems to be is that use_ok() is for some reason inside an
"eval".  $^S is set and there's an "eval" sub on the call stack.  I
don't know why.  So the croak() about not having a plan gets eaten in
the eval.  Doesn't make a difference if I change it to a die().  I
don't know how to work around this.  I'm pretty sure its not
Test::More's fault.

PS  perl-qa@xxxxxxxx is not the bug tracker for Test::More.
http://rt.cpan.org is where you report bugs.  Posting a "hey, is this
a bug" on the mailing list is ok, but if it doesn't wind up in the bug
tracker I am more likely to just drop it on the floor and never get
around to it.
