A good program, following DRY, isn't repetitive. So, where does the computer fit in?

Well, checking that I typed the casing of the module name correctly as I type it could be useful.

And remind me, is that Text::PDF::Array method name elementsOf or elements_of?

How about generating those 10 or so almost identical lines that appear in the top of many of the testcase you have to write?

## # DBM::Deep Test ## use strict; use Test::More tests => 128; use Test::Exception; use t::common qw( new_fh ); use_ok( 'DBM::Deep' );

Shall I go one looking for the opportunities? :)


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."
