Indeed. I recommend Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook. It saved me at least 6 hours right off the bat with the section on testing untestable code, of which, to my dismay, I've inherited a metric oodle.

    Hah, that's exactly how I figured it out enough to write parts of that chapter. (Some of my metric oodle was in the Perl core.)

      I have something I like to say at times like this: Better you than me.

      And thanks for the book! I have felt like O'Reilly's titles have been drifting away from what I need/like but this one is really well-done; not just the information but especially the way it's presented. In the micro-payment based world I wish we lived in, I'd owe you and Ian 2.3¢ on every test I write.
