Write unit tests for config/auto/perldoc.pm, the module whose functionality executes Parrot configuration step auto::perldoc. Some tests have already been written for this module in the 'reconfigure' branch of the Parrot repository; see t/configure/144-auto_perldoc.t in that branch (http://svn.perl.org/parrot/branches/reconfigure/). Some hints for how to proceed with testing may be found in that test file as well, including the following: "Try to test all branches and conditions; consult a recent code coverage report for guidance. You might consider adding a line to the POD which indicates why this test is necessary, given the fact that the user already has Perl 5. (It is because packaging systems can and do offer minimalist Perl 5 packages that omit 'perldoc'.)" Reports of the extent to which tests in the 'reconfigure' branch's t/configure/ directory cover the code in config/*/*.pm packages may be found here: http://thenceforward.net/parrot/coverage/configure-build/coverage.html Happy hacking! kid51
