1This is the perl test library.  To run all the tests, just type 'TEST'.
2
3To add new tests, just look at the current tests and do likewise.
4
5If a test fails, run it by itself to see if it prints any informative
6diagnostics.  If not, modify the test to print informative diagnostics.
7If you put out extra lines with a '#' character on the front, you don't
8have to worry about removing the extra print statements later since TEST
9ignores lines beginning with '#'.

11If you know that Perl is basically working but expect that some tests
12will fail, you may want to use Test::Harness thusly:
13        ./perl -I../lib harness
14This method pinpoints failed tests automatically.

16If you come up with new tests, please send them to larry@wall.org.
