May not want to share /home

My own experience is that sharing /home between distros can lead to muddled configuration settings. I've recently switched to running with all of my data in a /Data partition, with shortcuts from each distros /home to /Data/documents, /Data/music, /Data/pictures, etc. That way all the distros get to share my data without them getting tangled in each others' config settings.

NAME
Test::Data -- test functions for particular variable types SYNOPSIS
use Test::Data qw(Scalar Array Hash Function); DESCRIPTION
Test::Data provides utility functions to check properties and values of data and variables. Functions Plug-in modules define functions for each data type. See the appropriate module. How it works The Test::Data module simply imports functions from Test::Data::* modules. Each module defines a self-contained function, and puts that function name into @EXPORT. Test::Data defines its own import function, but that does not matter to the plug-in modules. If you want to write a plug-in module, follow the example of one that already exists. Name the module Test::Data::Foo, where you replace Foo with the right name. Test::Data should automatically find it. BUGS
I'm not a very good Windows Perler, so some things don't work as they should on Windows. I recently got a Windows box so I can test things, but if you run into problems, I can use all the patches or advice you care to send. SEE ALSO
