If you're worried about performance of your live code you could use Carp::Assert. Assertions will compile out if you set no Carp::Assert; and thus have no performance impact on the live code. That way you can at least perform parameter/return checking in your integration and system tests. And if there are ever any weird problems with your live code you can turn the assertions on by commenting out a single line.


Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
