#NAME

Task::Kensho::Testing - A Glimpse at an Enlightened Perl: Testing

#VERSION

version 0.41

#SYNOPSIS

> cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Testing

#DESCRIPTION

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensho:

Kenshō (見性) (C. Wu) is a Japanese term for enlightenment experiences - most commonly used within the confines of Zen Buddhism - literally meaning "seeing one's nature"[1] or "true self."[2] It generally "refers to the realization of nonduality of subject and object."[3]

Task::Kensho is a list of recommended modules for Enlightened Perl development. CPAN is wonderful, but there are too many wheels and you have to pick and choose amongst the various competing technologies.

The plan is for Task::Kensho to be a rough testing ground for ideas that go into among other things the Enlightened Perl Organisation Extended Core (EPO-EC).

The modules that are bundled by Task::Kensho are broken down into several categories and are still being considered. They are all taken from various top 100 most used perl modules lists and from discussions with various subject matter experts in the Perl Community. That said, this bundle does not follow the guidelines established for the EPO-EC for peer review via industry advisers.

Starting in 2011, Task::Kensho split its sub-groups of modules into individually-installable tasks. Each Task::Kensho sub-task is listed at the beginning of its section in this documentation.

When installing Task::Kensho itself, you will be asked to install each sub-task in turn, or you can install individual tasks separately. These individual tasks will always install all their modules by default. This facilitates the ease and simplicity the distribution aims to achieve.

#RECOMMENDED MODULES

#Task::Kensho::Testing: Testing

#Devel::Cover

Code coverage metrics for Perl

#Test2::Suite

Distribution with a rich set of tools built upon the Test2 framework.

#Test::Deep

Test deep data structures

#Test::Fatal

Test exception-based code

#Test::Memory::Cycle

Check for memory leaks and circular memory references

#Test::Pod

Check for POD errors in files

#Test::Pod::Coverage

Check for pod coverage in your distribution.

#Test::Requires

Make running a test conditional on a particular module being installed

#Test::Simple

Basic utilities for writing tests.

#Test::Warnings

Test for warnings and the lack of them

#INSTALLING

Since version 0.34, Task::Kensho has made use of the optional_features field in distribution metadata. This allows CPAN clients to interact with you regarding which modules you wish to install.

The cpanm client requires interactive mode to be enabled for this to work:

cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Testing

#BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

This list is by no means comprehensive of the "Good" Modules on CPAN. Nor is this necessarily the correct path for all developers. Each of these modules has a perfectly acceptable replacement that may work better for you. This is however a path to good perl practice, and a starting place on the road to Enlightened Perl programming.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to https://github.com/EnlightenedPerlOrganisation/task-kensho/issues.

Bugs may be submitted through https://github.com/EnlightenedPerlOrganisation/task-kensho/issues.

There is also an irc channel available for users of this distribution, at #epo on irc.perl.org.
