To test what? Your own typo's?
The tests are for a public Perl 6 module translated from an existing
Perl 5 module.
Do Perl 6 modules not need tests?
Yes they need tests.
If so, which ones do they need?
The public interface.
I agree with this part (test the public interface), but if you really
want/need to, you *can* introspect the private methods too. See
http://doc.perl6.org/type/Metamodel::PrivateMethodContainer#method_private_method_table
Note that private methods aren't inherited, so getting the private
methods from one level in the class hierarchy (the one that you want to
call the private method of) is enough.
That said, I wonder why tests need introspection at all. I mean, you
test by doing example calls and comparing to expected example return values.
(If those are generated methods, IMHO there is no point in testing all
generated instances).
Cheers,
Moritz
