I wondered this myself. My guess is (1) they're dissociated from what I think of as "the Perl community" (which is why i tried to stress it in my post on stackoverflow) and (2) google for "perl unit testing".
I agree that it's an unhappy state of affairs, but probably not an uncommon one, and almost certainly one that is not unique to Perl. I've seen a lot of people learning just enough of a language to (suboptimally) solve a given problem with it, and then repeating this pattern as needed. They don't interact with a wider community, get no exposure to the community's standards, and have no knowledge of the community's wisdom on things. They only know what their (old) books and Google tell them. (And, my inner cynic adds, most of them don't care, either.)
