#minions# My favorite tiny Perl scripts for development and testing. ##htlog.cgi## Collects GET requests with parameters *msg*, *tag* and *i* and logs them into single text file. * *msg* is actual message body. It can be used to contain parseable data like `name=john;age=32;state=il` * *tag* can be used to identify related messages like those from one test * use *i* if you tend to write tags like `test01-012` .. `test01-013` to store the iteration number, you'll be better off with this parameter as it won't break your ability to use tags ##htlogger.pm## API to make usage of *htlog.cgi* in Perl scripts even easier ##autotest.pl## Script to make it easier to start developing your new Perl module under pressure of unit tests written in [Test::More][1] and the likes. [1]: (http://perldoc.perl.org/Test/More.html) Suggested use is to sit on the other monitor, run all *.t* files around and around and be annoying about the fact that they fail. Then the rule of thumb goes without saying: "no green, no commit". ##timestamp.pl## Script to measure how long mone second takes. For those that know how long one second takes, it can serve as a snippet for Perl `&stamp()`. ##helper.pm## Container module for some utility methods for Perl. Probably only `dmup()` is interesting—it bears a nice quick and dirty way for dumping Perl data.
