I like and use test driven development. You might like to peruse here[1] for an intro to TDD and so you can see why I code the way I do, and perhaps even the book _Perl Testing_ (or the Perl modules Test::Simple[2] and Test::More[3]). > From Friday I am headed to Canada for 10 days & don't plan to touch > a computer the whole time :) WooHoo!

If you've followed the glacial progress of my VILisp module, you've probably gathered that I have little time for external projects, and I usually only enhanced VILisp when I had time for doing Lisp, or got the occasional bug report, and even then sometimes it took a while. So anyway, for me, a cheerleader would make an excellent partner! :) -- Larry [1] http://www.testdriven.com/modules/xoopsfaq/ [2] http://search.cpan.org/~gravalo/Net-FileShare-0.18/Test/Simple.pm [3] http://search.cpan.org/~mhx/Convert-Binary-C-0.62/support/Test/More.pm _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
