Write unit tests for config/inter/shlibs.pm, the module whose functionality executes Parrot configuration step inter::shlibs. Some tests have already been written for this module in the 'reconfigure' branch of the Parrot repository; see t/configure/114-inter_shlibs.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: "Check latest reports of Parrot configuration tools testing coverage to see where your time available for writing tests is spent. You will have to determine a way to test a user response to a prompt. Note the comment in POD: "This is a separate unit from config/inter/progs.pm because the answers depend on which compiler is in use. Thus it should come after the gccversion test." This may affect how the tests in this file are set up." 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
