Putting all that together makes it really easy to break things, even with an extensive test suite.

Indeed. That's why for it to have any merit at all it would need the indulgence of someone like you.

Not to do the testing, but to guide us on how best to test. To establish some procedure that would allow us to arrive at a high degree of certainty before we request someone from p5p take a look at what has evolved. If anything.

Maybe the idea is just too half-baked, but I've seen some extraordinary results produced here ... I was just looking to see if there is a way to tap into that for the benefit of Perl5.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

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.
