Basic module testing

mUTTON has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

When developing modules how do my fellow monks do the edit-test-debug cycle? To date I have used two approaches.

Put my brand spanking somewhere in @INC. Write a test script.
Make a brand spanking new module with : h2xs -AXn My::Foo. Edit test.pl to contain my tests. Run : make clean; make test; After I edit my module

So how do you do it?!

I use method one sparingly for quickie tests of things for pure perl modules. Method two is much preferred, as it creates a whole setup for installing, documenting, testing and eventually submitting to CPAN. -Mark	[reply]

I write my tests first.	[reply]
