Write unit tests for config/gen/makefiles.pm, the module whose functionality executes Parrot configuration step gen::makefiles. Some tests have already been written for this module in the 'reconfigure' branch of the Parrot repository; see t/configure/154-gen_makefiles.t in that branch (http://svn.perl.org/parrot/branches/reconfigure/). Some hints for how to proceed with testing may be found in that test file as well, including the following: "Consider testing the content of the files which the POD claims the module creates. Consider resolving questions raised in inline comments such as "Why is this here?"" Reports of the extent to which tests in the 'reconfigure' branch's t/configure/ directory cover the code in config/*/*.pm packages may be found here: http://thenceforward.net/parrot/coverage/configure-build/coverage.html Happy hacking! kid51
