Testing with Perl

Testing with Perl 5

There are a number of test modules for Perl, ranging from very simple tests through to very complex tests. Here are some links to some of them; all of these use the Test Anything Protocol to report their successes or failures:

• Test::Simple
• Test::More
• Test::Exception

A number of harnesses are available including:

• TAP::Harness

TAP::Parser Cookbook - Cooking with TAP

Testing with Perl 6

A set of test files, designed to output TAP, are used to define the specification for Perl 6. Only a few modules exist, but Test is a core module for every implementation that produces Test Anything Protocol output.

• Test

Perl 6 Harnesses

• Test::Harness (incomplete)
