Clearly, the project policy is not that trunk is always [mostly] functional (ouch). Once I finish up this stupid mail conversion (400 users and many gigabytes of mail), I'll try and spend a little time writing more tests (and maybe a Makefile.PL to make it easier to do the tests).
I don't think the project has a policy :-) Anyone who knows me on other projects knows that I like to break a few eggs. But we end up with working code eventually.
How about this: Anything goes except adding (intentionally) half finished changes to existing functionality that makes it not work.
A Makefile.PL would be nice (and easy to add - I might do one if you don't get around to it). At the moment I'm testing with Test::Verbose's "tv" command, which has a --pure-perl flag for tests without a Makefile.PL.
IIRC, I used the "prove" tool from the Test::Harness package to test when I made the tests.
