I drank the koolaid a few years ago on the usefulness of test-driven development. I have Perl and the Perl community to thank for that. chromatic outlines the history of Perl’s test-infected culture in a recent post.

Roy resurrected the Swish-e project nearly 10 years ago. There’s a nice interview with him out recently, in which he says “there really isn’t anything I can’t do with Perl and my favorite indexing tool, Swish-e” — which is exactly my experience too.

Thanks, Roy.
