Yes, we have tests. Yes, you can choose not to use modules which have no tests. Unfortunately, there are modules (and I'm guilty of creating some) which have only a minimal "it compiles" test. There are others which are damnably hard, if not impossible, to write tests for, and so you can't really be sure that they have adequate tests even if they have lots of them. And then there are modules which have *thousands* of tests, and you know damned well that they aren't all needed and so get suspicious about the quality of the tests for yet another reason.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
