*STOP!* If you're just getting started writing tests, have a look at
Test::Simple first. This is a drop in replacement for Test::Simple which
you can switch to once you get the hang of basic testing.

The purpose of this module is to provide a wide range of testing utilities.
Various ways to say "ok" with better diagnostics, facilities to skip tests,
test future features and compare complicated data structures. While you can
do almost anything with a simple 'ok()' function, it doesn't provide good
diagnostic output.

I love it when a plan comes together
Before anything else, you need a testing plan. This basically declares
how many tests your script is going to run to protect against premature
failure.
