Test::Routine is a great module that make it structure your tests cleanly, extract common behaviour, isolate tests and generally bring all the virtues of programming intentionally to your test suite.

“Your talk sounds fun. I bet I could learn something in it.” – RJBS, author of Test::Routine. “Right! I’m using that in the abstract!” – Piers Cawley, shameless presenter.
