+This is the perl test library. To run the test suite, just type './TEST'
+or 'make test' from the build directory above t/. See also the section
+"Special Make Test Targets" in pod/perlhack.pod to learn about other
+specific test commands.
To add new tests, just look at the current tests and do likewise.
+The library t/test.pl provides some utility functions that you can use
+in most tests, except in the most basic ones.
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.
