Isn't this one a script that should be installed 755?

Is /root/ really the right place to install this? Isn't
some /usr/share/perl/ or /usr/lib/perl/ a better place?

I think I would prefer a TestInit.pm file added in package/microperl/
rather than echo'ing it here.

Thanks!

rem1: microperl is not fully supported by the Perl community.
the build in Perl 5.16 serie is broken, see
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2012/08/msg190323.html
people ask about its interest, see
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2012/08/msg190422.html

rem2: in this commit, I introduce a testing scheme, and I reuse it for
perl & miniperl packages.
I want a reproducible and documented recipe for run the
perl/miniperl/microerl test suite.

Intentional. The help string in Config.in describes how to run the test suite.

On host-dev, testing in done in the build tree, so the test suite is
never installed.
With cross-dev, a part of the build tree must be copied on target in
order to run test; but you do this only during porting or debugging
the package.
I choice the /root directory, because it is an unusual location. If
you find these files in /root directory in a final image, you see your
mistake.
I do not want to pollute /usr with test suite.
(I try the /tmp directory, but it doesn't work)

TestInit.pm is a preamble for each test, and a 'standard' version is
included in the Perl distribution.
But this 'standard' version is too convoluted (for all OS, for the
whole test suite).
This one-liner version is enough for microperl test suite and make
debugging more easy.

I don't want a patch which will never merged in upstream.

I'll send a new patch serie which supercedes this one.
