( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Any CPAN module worth installing is (at the least) going to run a few basic tests before it is installed. You can add your own tests if you want (usually just a matter of adding a script in the t/ subdirectory of the module). You can audit the code if you want--a tedious task, but a far better use of expensive programmer time than rewriting it. Something as popular as an XML parser is going to be widely used and tested, so you may not even bother.

If your employeer still wants it rewritten, I'd just give up and go along with it. It's their money to waste. I suggest documenting all your suggestions before hand, so that when (almost certainly not 'if') the whole project turns into a stinking mess and management is looking for someone to blame, you have something to point at.

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.
