I agree, and here's why I do.

CPAN provides lots of ways to Test, and CPAN harnesses testing as part of the build process. The effect is that you don't have to trust people to get it right every single time.

By testing for results you must have rather than having hoops programmers must jump through, Perl and CPAN let all sorts of odd ideas, grand schemes, quirks, mathematical verities, lunatic notions, sacred cows, juicy hamburgers, oracular goings-on, lies, damned lies, divine inspirations, hallucinations, high science, low comedy, and too many other squibs to list, coexist. The cream rises to the top.

Trust is fine, but test and experiment and imagination are finer.

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.


No such thing as a small change
