+Wow! It's a neat concept :) What really surprised me is the "import Test::More;". If I understand correctly, It's indirect method calling, right?
+
+
+Some odd little corners of Perl. I hope this helps clear things up.
+
+It's just doing what `use` does at compile time at run time. That way you only get the Test::More overhead if you are actually using it. See https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/use
+
+Indirect method calls are when you use the `my_method MyClass arg1, arg2, ...` syntax. You don't see it much because we have learned to avoid it due to the fact that it is ambiguous. See https://perldoc.perl.org/perlobj#Indirect-Object-Syntax
+
+It's all in TFM, assuming you can find it. I've been rereading the darn things for nearly 20 years and sometimes things still surprise me.

+the need to compile this extra code on every invocation
+
+Compromise might be to move tests to t/xxx.t once you have finished development. And add a "require" in the self_test sub.

+Thanks Gabor. You have no idea how many of your articles I have read to help me with my perl projects. Regards.

+Hi, I want to do something similar to your article. I want to display "Thanks for your submission" after submitting input by the user and simultaneously execute the cgi script. How can I do that?

+It's POSIX -- the placeholder values are supplies by your operating system. I agree that the perldoc could be useful and echo these, but on at least FreeBSD, "man strftime" lists all the supported values for that platform.

+In Python's strftime, if you want a decimal hour (e.g. "2" instead of "02") you can use "%-I" instead of "%I" ... Is there any equivalent approach in this Perl strftime function?
