Yup, and then rewrite it. However, I am waiting for wod from chromatic
before I start hacking on SDL_perl, due to my ancient svn version etc.
I'd like a lot of cleanup to do (the version, f.i. is at v1.20.3!)

:) I never used CVS so I cannot compare this. In any event, I will just use
commit and checkout and thats about it..

Me too :)

There is "prove" (or so I think). I also set up the tests so that I can run
them via:
perl t/sometest.t
This usualy means:
BEGIN
{
chdir 't' if -d 't';
use lib '../blib/lib/';
use lib '../blib/arch/'; # not necc. for pure perl modules
}
That is not quite portable, so one could use File::Spec. One drawback is
that you always need to do make before running the test and this is cumber
some so I usually do:
BEGIN
{
chdir 't' if -d 't';
use lib '../lib/';
}
to use the version in lib/. (of course that doesnt work for things that need
tobe compiled, e.g. C wrappers etc) For pure perl, it works.
Best wishes,
Tels
