This is the perl test library. To run all the tests, just type 'TEST'.
To add new tests, just look at the current tests and do likewise.
If a test fails, run it by itself to see if it prints any informative
diagnostics. If not, modify the test to print informative diagnostics.
If you put out extra lines with a '#' character on the front, you don't
have to worry about removing the extra print statements later since TEST
ignores lines beginning with '#'.
If you know that Perl is basically working but expect that some tests
will fail, you may want to use Test::Harness thusly:
./perl -I../lib harness
This method pinpoints failed tests automatically.
If you come up with new tests, please send them to larry@wall.org.
