For some reason writing unit tests in Perl feels really weird. I feel like Perl code is simply not supposed to be OO in the same way as Python and Java are. OO...

Hey Rob, ... What do you mean by "declarative tests"? Could you give an example? Asim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!...
... A declarative language allows you to specify your intent and the interpreter executes the program in whatever order it sees fit. SQL is a declarative...

Hi there, ... Very simple ones. ... I suppose it's my age. I HATE Perl's statement modifiers. And I REALLY REALLY HATE "unless". ... Like I said. ... ...
... Every refactoring can be implemented in reverse. This is an important part of design by refactoring. This is the "art" of refactoring imo. The goal is...
... I like this one, especially if you demonstrate that it's reversable. I only have one nitpick. ... if 'undef' is intended to return a demonstrably false...
... I hope to avoid showing the reverse of every refactoring. It maybe makes sense to show one or two explicitly. ... No, you need to check if it is undef....
... That's fine. It's important to demonstrate that you don't always go in one direction. ... The bare return operator respects the calling context: sub false...

I think Rob's answer was backwards... e.g. the read side of things, not the write (print) side of things, but it isn't very clear where the problem lies. His...
