jeffa,
Ok - for example:
  • Ensuring that there was an even numbered list if assigning to a hash
  • Ensuring that division by 0 would not happen
  • Ensuring that a variable looked like a number before performing a numerical operation on it
  • Ensuring that if someone passes a bad option to the get routine it gets trapped in an eval

    These are the types of things that I did - how would I incorporate them into a test. I was under the impression that tests were designed to make sure your code works the same on someone else's platform and version of Perl as you coded it???

    Cheers and thanks - L~R
