Defining, Testing and Documenting Perl?by LanX (Saint) |

Hi I started to write a test script for "Boolean Operators" with and w/o "Short-Circuit" in Perl. And quickly found me needing to define and test "Truthiness" in Perl. (Wait ... "0 but true" is false? Remembered it differently ;-) And now I find myself obliged to also define "Contexts", because an empty list is also false. And "Data Types", because internally it's more difficult, than just Scalar, Array and Hash. It's a lot of work, but in the end it could help in many corners when done correctly:
Like so often, after a first success I find myself a bit stuck in the big picture. I'll throw in my first approach as is for meditation. There is a lot to be criticized, but my normal perfectionism is too risky and might lead to a never release cycle. Thoughts? Cheers Rolf
