Very mechanical

So you want to learn about testing your Perl programs? This book will teach the mechanics of how to use the test frameworks. However it will not teach you a thing about what to test and why. The examples given all test stuff that a child could verify as correct - things so trivial that writing a test for them becomes an exercise in wasting your time. There isn't a bit of sage advice here on where a test is really useful and why, no tips and tricks, no pitfalls or warnings. A glorified manpage.
