I'm transitioning to developing using Apache::Test and like it. It's a different style of developing. Have you looked at the apache test docs? http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html Stealing tests from other projects is often suggested. The mod perl 2 test suite is a good place to look. Can anyone suggest any other Apache modules that might have a rich testing suite from which to steal testing ideas? Also, a few weeks ago Stas mentioned an Apache::Test mailing list, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I joined that list and tried to post a question, but it didn't post. Anyone know if that list is working? I received automated requests and confirmation emails so I think I'm on the test-dev list. Regards, Jim
