Can anyone write up a detailed document describing how one would go about writing Perl6 test cases and submitting them to Parrot? The parrot documentation on testing, is understandably focused on testing parrot... not the languages running on parrot. I can't find any writeup or overview on the Perl5 regression test framework. Which is odd, because I'd expect something like that to exist in the core documentation. -Perhaps I'm just missing it... Otherwise useful links include: A basic guide to writing tests for Parrot http://www.parrotcode.org/docs/tests.pod.html chromatic's: An Introduction to Testing http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/12/04/testing.html And there's the Perl QA sites: http://qa.perl.org/ http://magnonel.guild.net/~schwern/cgi-bin/perl-qa-wiki.cgi And Michael G.
