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

For instance, how do you write a test that tests your objects ... timely destruct?

How about (untested):

{ package CrashDummy; @CrashDummy::ISA = 'MyPrecious'; *ok = \&Test::More::ok; my $counter = 0; sub DESTROY { Test::More::ok( ++$counter == 2, 'DESTROY called' ); $_[ 0 ]->SUPER::DESTROY; } { my $dummy = bless +{}, __PACKAGE__; ok( ++$counter == 1, 'inner scope' ); } ok( ++$counter == 3, 'expected execution order' ); }
?

How do you test your shuffling or die rolling technique is fair and produces results according to your specifications (say, according to a Gaussing distribution), and isn't biased favouring certain outcomes?

There are a bazillion statistical tests to compare sampled distributions. I'm surprised none of these would meet your needs.

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.
