I've recently been starting to use HTTP::WebTest to automate testing of a database driven, templated web site. There is a lot of functionality already, and it's designed so that you can write your own plugin tests and reporting modules.
One of the problems I'm working on is some way so that the team can write modular test plans that can be strung together in different combinations. This way you don't have to be a coder to design the tests.
Checking javascript remains a bit of an issue, but there is a Javascript.pm module which allows you to call a javascript engine from perl code. It doesn't handle all the document object model parsing that you probably want done, so there's plenty of room for contributing...
It's kind of funny to see that you have to copy to your hard disc, as one of the first things I noticed was the legalese about not copying this to a server.
I do enjoy not having to lug so many books around, as I have them all at work, and I agree with the choices, although I would have loved to see Mastering Regular Expressions make the cut.
I have noticed that some of the links, particularly from the cookbook to the camel appear to go to the wrong location, and after doing a little double checking, I found out they go to the correct location in the 2nd edition camel, not the third. I wonder if they will send me an update?
