My advice would be to use the Test::Builder based options.

Start with Test::Simple and Test::More. Test::Tutorial provides an introduction to these.

After that take a look at some of the more specific testing modules like Test::Data, Test::HTML::Content, Test::Pod, Test::Warn, Test::Exception, etc.

If you want a more xUnit type of testing framework take a look at Test::Class (note: I'm biased since I wrote that one).

All of the above, and many more, are build on top of Test::Builder and all play together well. Kudos to schwern and chromatic for a great library.

In the perlmonk land you may find the following of interest:

As a bit of more general advice try switching to doing Test Driven Development. It feels odd at first but does wonders for code quality once you get used to it (IMHO anyway :-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
