Write unit tests for config/init/install.pm, the module whose functionality executes Parrot configuration step init::install. Some tests have already been written for this module in the 'reconfigure' branch of the Parrot repository; see t/configure/103-init_install.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: "This file ought to test what happens when you provide a non-default directory to each of the options in config/init/install. For testing purposes, these directories probably do not have to be real. You should probably test the Parrot::Configure object before and after calling runsteps() in order to verify that the non-defaults made it into the object." 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
