Write unit tests for config/gen/platform.pm, the module whose functionality executes Parrot configuration step gen::platform. Some tests have already been written for this module in the 'reconfigure' branch of the Parrot repository; see t/configure/155-gen_platform.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: "By definition, test coverage of this package will appear low because you can only test the OS you are currently running on. Use Test::More SKIP blocks as needed." 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
