Re^2: Using Test::More to make sense of documentationby ELISHEVA (Prior) |

I only like to do things the hard way when it makes things easier. :-) The only limitation of command line testing addressed by a REPL (read-eval-print loop) is the quoting problem. Both command lines and REPLs are excellent tools for quick clarifications. They are less helpful when one wants to really explore what subroutine X::foo really does with its parameters, especially if you only use that language feature or X::foo every few months. Command lines also have up-cursors and history. However, the history of command lines and REPLs is basically a session transcript and goes away after N lines of input. You can't go back to last week or last month's tests (unless you use it very rarely). You could increase N so that a longer history can be kept, but the history isn't categorized by topic the way a named file can be. Best, beth
