Curated by Skill Harbor: comprehensive Perl testing patterns that bring modern discipline to a language whose test tooling predates most frameworks. It covers the full stack: Test2::V0 and Test::More assertions, the prove runner for executing suites, mocking strategies, coverage measurement with Devel::Cover, and the red/green/refactor TDD cycle applied to Perl modules. Includes migration guidance from Test::More to Test2::V0, suite design for modules and applications, debugging failing tests, and worked examples (a Calculator module built test-first, subtests with done_testing). Use it when writing new Perl code, reviewing coverage, setting up test infrastructure, or modernizing a legacy suite. By @affaan-m, listed here with credit to its creator. From the affaan-m/ECC repository (MIT). Honest caveats: assumes a working Perl toolchain (prove, cpanm); coverage numbers guide, they do not guarantee correctness; legacy Perl may need dependency updates before modern Test2 features work. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MuseThe install prompt below already includes the vetting steps: your agent follows the community checklist before installing anything with executable code. Want more?
Use "Perl Testing" with your Muse. Prerequisites: a Perl toolchain with prove (and cpanm for Test2::V0 / Devel::Cover). Pure guidance, nothing to install. 1. Open the skill: https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/main/skills/perl-testing/SKILL.md and copy the full SKILL.md text. 2. Paste it into a chat with Muse and add: "Write Test2::V0 tests for this module, TDD style: [paste module]." 3. Run prove on the generated tests, then ask for Devel::Cover guidance on the gaps. Tip: ask it to migrate an old Test::More suite to Test2::V0 one file at a time. Safety: a skill is plain-text instructions; it runs nothing by itself. Review generated tests for meaningful assertions, not tautologies.

Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
