Test More, ok?
My confidence that my code will perform to specification has improved
significantly since I learned how to write tests. I'll give an
overview of some of Perl's test modules, and share my experiences in
applying them to Parrot. Hopefully, this will inspire you to improve
confidence in your code by writing your own tests.
