Lots of perl people think that they're doing unit testing, because they test each module. That is not unit testing. Unit testing tests each indivisible unit of functionality *in isolation*, testing not just functions' return values for various arguments, but also their interactions with other parts of your application by mocking those other parts. Unit testing makes tests far more useful as a debugging tool, but also requires changing how you think about writing code. In this talk I'll show how you can make your code more debuggable with unit testing.
