Re: Test::Unit - How do I love thee, let me count the ways...

You know, for all the programmers out there, it surprise's me how few actually,

can create a cpan style package,
write unit tests,
write POD
know what Perl Tidy is,

It pisses me off to no end because these are all in common use in other languages. But with Perl, some of these guys look at you are like your speaking in tongues!

I would love for some company create a Perl Project Development Tool like Visual Studio, instead of just an editor like Komodo or Eclipse. Then maybe some of these people can come up to a coding standard on par with other languages.

... because these are all in common use in other languages. I have to disagree with this part. Unit tests and documentation have been in short supply in most of the positions I've worked (most of which were not in Perl). It's definitely getting better, but the grass is not always greener... Despite the complaints from the OP (with which I can really sympathize), I am at least guardedly hopeful. I haven't had to argue the benefits of version control with any job in the last few years. That was a constant battle in the beginning of my career.<shrug/> I'm afraid that change comes slowly. G. Wade	[reply]
