I'm getting back to Perl programming after a decent chunk of time away from it. Looking back at my old code is making me exceptionally nervous. I haven't noticed any bugs in the last 4 months of running some of it, but I'd like to invest a little time in increasing my peace of mind so I'm looking at different testing approaches.
Looking at some of CPAN's results shows there's no shortage of module options (as I've come to expect from Perl). My question is what recommendations do the monks have for someone new to testing? Which modules should I check out? Thanks.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
