Testing perl modules that rely on remote databy worr (Novice) |

worr has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hey PerlMonks! I'm writing a Perl module that uses a popular social networking website. Obviously I'd like to write some good unit tests so that I can verify that my code works, but I'm at a loss at the best way to do this. Since data on the site has a tendency to fluctuate often, what kind of stuff should I do to set up my tests? Should I some of the methods test against my own account and hope the expected results don't change? Also, I use Moose in my Perl module, but should I really bother testing the methods that it writes for me? I'm new to Perl testing, so any help would be appreciated. Thoughts?
