Useless book
Few ideas and code scattered all over but not presented in a coherent manner. This is a totally useless book. It teaches about test oriented programming rather than testing of perl code.
This is a great Perl testing book
Being new to Perl, this book told me everything I wanted to know about testing my Perl programs. If you have never been involved in testing your Perl stuff this book lets you know just about everything that you would want to know.
If you are already testing your Perl programs, this book may give you some ideas or get you thinking about different ways to test. If you have never tested your Perl programs before, this book is a fantastic resource.
Utterly useless book
I am a Lead Software Verification Engineer and am a perl programmer (for 10 years now) and found this book a complete waste of time and money. I have no idea how this book has received the ratings it has so far. It has zero new ideas. The book tells you how to write standard tests for perl (this could have been accomplished in 2 pages). I love the format of the book. Please look elswhere if you wanna learn about perl or testing or perl testing.
