This course assumes a thorough understanding of all the concepts in our Programming Perl course. You must be able to program, and you must have programmed regularly in Perl at some point, even if you do not do so currently.

You already know Perl. You write in Perl regularly, you may have even released some code to the CPAN but are you sure you're doing it right? Languages and techniques evolve over time, and Perl is no exception.

This course covers advanced techniques including:

Installing modules locally using cpanm and local::lib.
Starting your project on the right foot, without repeating yourself, using Module::Starter.
Test-driven development, test coverage, advanced testing.
Profiling your code with Devel::NYTProf, and examining your test suite coverage with Devel::Cover.
Error handling code with autodie and Try::Tiny.
How to gain feedback and enforce coding standards with Perl::Critic.
How to bundle your code and dependencies with PAR, the Perl Archiver.
