Good material, interesting format

I'm written a lot of perl code, and read a lot of evangelism about testing, but had never done much in the way of actual testing. I was exactly the person for whom this book was intended. And, it worked! The information about testing seems very strong, even authoritative, although since I know little else about it except for what I've learned from this book, I can't say that with my authority of my own. I've read lots of O'Reilly books, but this was my first in the Developer's Notebook series. I don't think it's revolutionary approach or anything, but it does work quite nicely, very focused on the practical, easy to apply immediately. All in all, a very nice book for the situation I was in. If you are in a similar situation, you'll probably like it too.
