✨ NAME ✨

Task::Kensho::Testing β€” bestie, this is A Glimpse at an Enlightened Perl: Testing πŸ§˜β™€οΈπŸ’–

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.41 β€” yes, that's the vibe, we're on 0.41 periodt

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

okay so literally just run this and let it cook:

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

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

straight from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensho>, no cap:

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]

so like. Task::Kensho is a whole list of recommended modules for Enlightened Perl development πŸ’… CPAN is genuinely wonderful but omg there are so many wheels and you literally have to pick and choose amongst the various competing technologies. exhausting fr.

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). iconic.

the modules bundled by Task::Kensho are broken down into several categories and are still being considered β€” nothing's locked in bestie. they're 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 πŸ‘€ this bundle does not follow the guidelines established for the EPO-EC for peer review via industry advisers. just so we're clear.

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 πŸ“š

when you install 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 ✨ slay.

πŸ§ͺ Task::Kensho::Testing: Testing

the lineup, in order, no skips:

  • Devel::Cover β€” Code coverage metrics for Perl
  • Test2::Suite β€” Distribution with a rich set of tools built upon the Test2 framework.
  • Test::Deep β€” Test deep data structures
  • Test::Fatal β€” Test exception-based code
  • Test::Memory::Cycle β€” Check for memory leaks and circular memory references
  • Test::Pod β€” Check for POD errors in files
  • Test::Pod::Coverage β€” Check for pod coverage in your distribution.
  • Test::Requires β€” Make running a test conditional on a particular module being installed
  • Test::Simple β€” Basic utilities for writing tests.
  • Test::Warnings β€” 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 lets CPAN clients interact with you regarding which modules you wish to install β€” a little convo, a little back and forth, we love that 🫢

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

cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Testing
lowkey if you forget --interactive it's just not gonna ask you anything. so don't forget bestie πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’€ BUGS AND LIMITATIONS πŸ’€

okay real talk. 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 🌟

there is also an irc channel available for users of this distribution, at #epo on irc.perl.org <irc://irc.perl.org/#epo> πŸ’¬
