Test::Spec is a declarative specification‐style testing system for behavior‐ driven development (BDD) in Perl. The tests (a.k.a. examples) are named with strings instead of subroutine names, so your fingers will suffer less fatigue from underscore−itis, with the side benefit that the test reports are more legible.
This module is inspired by and borrows heavily from RSpec (http://rspec.info/documentation/), a BDD tool for the Ruby programming language.
See perldoc Test::Spec for syntax examples and usage information.
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL make make test make install
