How can I do unit testing in Perl?
perl, testing, unit-testing
Solution
I'd add my vote to picking up `Test::More` before going any further in Perl testing. The Perl testing community is fairly well united around the Test Anything Protocol, and you'll want to play around with `Test::More` to understand how it works and how tools like `prove` and `Test::Harness::Archive` can help automate and distribute testing.
If you want to just "jump right in", I think `Test::Class` provides xTest facilities with a TAP backend. I haven't used it at all (I'm a `Test::More` person myself), but it's very highly rated.
Problem
I have been doing some OO Perl programming and I was wondering: which is the best way to perform unit tests? So far I have been using the Test::Simple module to perform tests, but it feels insufficient for what I want. Can you point me to some nice modules for that?
