# Perl Testing
> This file extends [common/testing.md](../common/testing.md) with Perl-specific content.
## Framework
Use **Test2::V0** for new projects (not Test::More):
```perl
use Test2::V0;
is($result, 42, 'answer is correct');
done_testing;
```
## Runner
```bash
prove -l t/ # adds lib/ to @INC
prove -lr -j8 t/ # recursive, 8 parallel jobs
```
Always use `-l` to ensure `lib/` is on `@INC`.
## Coverage
Use **Devel::Cover** — target 80%+:
```bash
cover -test
```
## Mocking
- **Test::MockModule** — mock methods on existing modules
- **Test::MockObject** — create test doubles from scratch
## Pitfalls
- Always end test files with `done_testing`
- Never forget the `-l` flag with `prove`
## Reference
See skill: `perl-testing` for detailed Perl TDD patterns with Test2::V0, prove, and Devel::Cover.
