Putting aside the argument that most logic should be in libraries and not scripts, what is the best practice for writing test cases to verify that your Perl scripts compile? My quick and dirty solution is something like:
use Test::More tests => 1; chomp (my $output = `perl -c $script 2>&1`); is($output, "$script syntax OK", "$script compiles"); I'm sure I could clean this up by opening a pipe instead of using backticks and output redirection. But even that doesn't smell very good. I've looked around on CPAN, but I have not yet found a Test:: module that seems appropriate. I also wondered if fiddling with $^C would do the trick somehow. Any suggestions? Thanks. -Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
