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

Many good modules listed so far, so here's a plug for my current favourite.

I recently drank the Devel::Cover KoolAid™ and I'm finding it immensely gratifying. It picked up one borderline bug, and has helped me restructure a couple of methods to reduce the number of possible execution paths, which in turn simplifies coverage testing.

Now I'm writing lots of fiddly tests to cover the fiddly edge cases, which, while I'm reasonably confident don't have bugs because I know they work already in production, it'll be a satisfying to have them all pinned down by tests.

It would be nice to be able to view public coverage stats of CPAN modules. I think that would help Perl stay one step ahead of the competition.

Yes, I know there's more to testing than mere coverage, but you have to have at least that in place.

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.
