I want to test a script I have written in Perl and specifically check what output it writes to file. I wrote it some time ago and don't want to modify it to the extent of turning it into a module but would like to regression test it before adding some small functional changes.
So far I have use Test::Command tests => 10;
exit_is_num($cmd, 0);
....
But the command produces some files and I want to check those files are the same as I expect (either equal or match some regexp). Any suggestions
