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

Now all I need to do is convince my lab to install SVN so that I can play around with it....

Good luck with that. :)

One thing you might consider is sending the email only on failure; successful builds succeed quietly. I've played around with a few "email-a-day" scripts (mostly of my own devising), and I find that even at such a low frequency, after a few weeks of the same (or similar) messages I tend to delete them unread. Parsing the tests' output might be more effort than it's worth; can you simply assume that the build succeeded if $stderr is empty?

I don't know about that, but it's a very good idea to do some investigating. With Test::More at least, using the verbose flag causes output to go to $stderr even if the tests are successful. This complicates things if you want verbose testing. Of course, there's dozens of other test modules out there, so... it may be possible to use one of those instead.

Shameless self-promotion

I personally don't see anything wrong with these, so long as they provide useful information.

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.
