I will be talking about getting started with unit and functional testing using everyone's favorite language, Perl.

Additionally, I will talk about code quality, test coverage, and making things a lot easier on the person doing the testing using a Makefile.

Finally, I will talk about how I used Test::Builder to create a custom test module in order to be able to unit test the code in use at a previous job, which is a template framework that combines perl code with HTML, making traditional unit testing rather difficult.
