If you are testing via HTTP WWW::Mechanize is a really valuable tool. JavaScript is a problem though you're right. If you are testing from the cmd line the nice thing about Perl's testing framework is that it would be feasible to write C# programs that write test results to STDOUT and STDERR, which are then consumed by Test::Harness. We do that where I currently work to use Perl to test PHP code...essentially we've just got a mini Test::More written in PHP. I've always thought it would be kinda cool to distribute Test::More variants in other languages so that people could easily write tests in other languages which are then consumed by Test::Harness. //Ed
