I was just working on this myself the other day, and I took a
look at
Storable and
HTML::Embperl, if I
remember correctly. They were helpful for getting down the
basics of *how* to do it.
It sounds more like your question might be *what* to do,
though, ie. what exactly you should be testing. Perhaps?
The most important reason for having a test suite, I think, is
that it should test every important piece of your system. This
allows for:
- Easy portability testing; you have a defined set of tests
that you can run on different platforms. If some fail, you know
what you need to work on.
- Version maintenance. If someone makes a change to the
system, and it breaks a test when you next run the test suite,
you know which change caused the problem, and where it
broke in the test suite. This is very good for you, because you
now have a better sense of what to fix.
I realize that this isn't very specific, but really the specifics
all deal with your particular system.
