The Modern Perl talk is broa dly targetted at beginners and everyday general usage concepts while the Test::Builder 2 talk will delve much deeper into particular details of Perl's testing system.\n\nchromatic on Modern Perl\n Perl masters talk a bout strange subjects such as whipupitude\, manipulexity\, context\, lex icals\, and linguistic principles. It may seem that you must be a wizard to apply these notions to your code and dexterously wield Perl's essent ial strengths. In truth\, these ideas and idioms are deceptively simple: you use them every day when you read or write plain English. \n Demysti fying the linguistic concepts in Perl opens up the doors of Perl mastery . Come learn the philosophy behind Perl's design in order to understand Perl and how to use its unique isms to improve your code.\n\nSchwern on Test::Builder2\nTest::Builder is what most Test modules are written with these days. It lets them quietly coordinate with each other and frees t he authors from having to worry about the details. It was written in 200 1 and in that decade there's been an explosion of testing modules. \n A decade later\, Test::Builder is starting to show its age and limitations . Its assumptions and biases are restraining the Perl testing community. Perl has moved on\, too. When Test::Builder was written\, testing was s till a "\;new"\; thing. Now it's a given. We have a real object system now and a sophisticated community to take advantage. \n Enter Tes t::Builder2. A total rewrite of Test::Builder to remove its biases and l et test authors do whatever they can dream up while still being the soli d iron core of Perl testing and remaining compatible with Test::Builder. It takes advantage of things like Mouse (that's a small Moose)\, method wrappers and roles. Counter-intuitively\, it does less than Test::Build er does while providing more opportunities. \n Schwern has a grant for T est::Builder2 from the Perl Foundation and if he doesn't release somethi ng by October they'll break his legs. So he's hoping to generate some co ntributors by showing off the design and code! \n\nAs always\, the meeti ng will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab.\n\n\nTags: perl\, b eginners\, testing\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250459 186 URL:http://pdx.pm.org SUMMARY:Portland Perl Mongers -- Modern Perl + Test::Builder 2 LOCATION:Free Geek: 1731 SE 10th Avenue\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
