Add a perl-test recipe to test perl, it will contain the perl's test cases, these cases are inside perl. it seems that the "make test" will run them, we can extract these cases in a single perl-test package or just let perl recipe generate out a perl-test binary package.
Can we make this recipe and future similar ones output their results in a test_results folder for easy QA checking? Would be great for qemu and BSP tests. Also if this works well, we could make this kind of recipes for rpm, zypper, vnc, gcc, g++ and other such test cases that require simple commands? Another thing: I talked to my colleagues and as it is some of these tests are done by sanity checks. We could also integrate our test cases with sanity checks?
I would like to note that this bug matches very closely the ptest initiative I'm developing. Description: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2012-June/009443.html Latest patch set: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-November/032076.html
