Covering all code paths is not necessarily possible. The range of possible value may be environment dependent and too large to test in any reasonable amount of time. Consider the following:

sub makeUserSelectedObjectDance { # ENVIRONMENT DEPENDENT!!! # any class in @INC that has a dance method will be accepted my ($sClass) = @_; return if ! ($sClass->can('dance')); my $oDancer = $sClass->new(); $oDancer->dance(); return $oSomething; }

or consider this routine which allows any valid combination of class and method. This kind of thing isn't all that uncommon when coding event-driven frameworks:

sub applyUserSelectedActionToUserSelectedTarget { # ENVIRONMENT DEPENDENT!!! - relative to codebase size and contents # number of valid parings of class and method can be quite large # in a large codebase my ($sClass, $sMethod) = @_; my $crMethod = $sClass->can($sMethod); return if ! $crMethod; my $oSomething = $sClass->new(); $oSomething->$crMethod(); return $oSomething; }

Best, beth

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.
