Hi Guys,

I'm shortly going to be involved in testing a large scale system, written in perl. I've got a couple of years experience in software testing, but I've never tested perl. I'm familiar with the basics of what I'm doing, but need to translate that "general knowledge" into "perl knowledge".

CPAN is massive and I assume that not everything is tested in an optimum manner. I could spend months trying to find something suitable. Is anyone familiar with the testing suites written for any of the CPAN modules? Specifically what I'm looking for is a couple of modules that I can examine to get a general gist of how to go about this task.

Can anyone recommend a module or two that I can go look at to get pointers in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
