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

Wow! I was surprised when I looked at the current poll and found it to be my earlier suggestion. Just-wow.

My original reason for the idea was that I had started myself a small project in late January: I wanted to write something to standardize the abbreviations used in a lengthy list of customer addresses where I work. I started with a listing of US Postal Service abbreviations, and began writing expressions to check for common variations and replace them. In doing so, I realized I could use the Test::* framework to generate tests to make sure none of the patterns I had created were too lax or too aggressive, plus it would give me a reason to play with testing, something that I too have not done as much of as I should. When my generated count of tests exceeded 1.0e4, I began to wonder how many tests others had created/generated/written, and thus the question I posted. (As for the project, I ran out of to-its with a full 10+ minute run of the tests (exceeding 5.8e5, including, at that point, 9 failures), probably several dozen expressions left to write, and the eventual intent to try my hand at morphing it into some kind of usable module.)

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.
