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 and the likes.

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.
