I added a short note about the existence of t/test.pl in t/README recently. Hey, that's another document ;-)

We're dissolving that. Use fresh_perl_is() and fresh_perl_like() from t/test.pl and place the test in the appropriate group. So somewhere with other filehandle tests. > I keep forgetting that I need to remember to ask this. Is there a FAQ > for regression test writing?

Do you mean this? http://simon-cozens.org/writings/p5p-faq If someone wants to become a new champion for it, we can keep it on http://dev.perl.org/perl5. (Another way to enable that would be to merge it into the perl5 sources, and then the website can check it out periodically.) -R

Schwern and I talked about this last week. pod/perltest.pod was a likely candidate, though Perl QA have been working on Test::FAQ on the Wiki. There's also Test::Tutorial. It's in the core. > And where did the p5p FAQ get to? MJD said he was taking it off his website... or do you mean the serious one? No idea. -- c

I keep forgetting that I need to remember to ask this. Is there a FAQ for regression test writing? Well, an guide to "so I want to write a regression test, explaining how to do it, how perl5's tests are structured to reduce interdependencies, use Test::More; when Test::More is not appropriate.."
