The questions and answers for each of the contests were:
Perl’s documentation suggests using h2xs to create new modules. What module, that Ian and chromatic mention, is just a modern alternative for the h2xs method?- Module::Starter
What is the full name of the protocol that Perl’s testing tools implement?- TAP - Test Anything Protocol
Name three other languages that have ports of Perl’s testing tools.- Answers included C, Java, JavaScript, PHP, and Python. The Perl Testing authors specifically called out JavaScript, Python, Parrot/PIR, Perl 6, and C. I accepted just about anything... especially if proof was provided.
What is the name of the project that aims to improve the tests and test coverage in Perl and improve the tests, test coverage and documentation of the CPAN.- Phalanx
What module from the CPAN would you use to create unit tests?- PTDN recommends Test::Class, which has the highest (if any) ratings for a unit-testing module. Test::Unit, Test::SimpleUnit, Test::Assertions and Test::Extreme are others that fit the bill. Of course, since I asked which module 'you' would use, I accepted everything as an entry.

Thanks to chromatic and Ian Langworth for help with the questions.
