Writing robust code in Perl? Yes, it can be done. This talk will review a number of wellknown technics for producing robust code, such as coding policy, paranoid and defensive programming, regression testing, efficient logging and much more. We will also dive a bit in the area of programming by contract and see how it can benefit Perl code.

This talk is based on experience accumulated at the Swedish Premium Pension Authority whose core financial platform is imlpemented with Perl.
