I'm looking for some quick/basic ideas we can turn into test cases on
the wiki anchored at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Package_perl_test_cases.  These
tests are then linked in the bodhi updated as suggested tests.  While
providing karma feedback for perl, I thought it would be handy to have a
list of *basic* perl tests available for testers to run (esp since I
don't use perl much).

Thanks,
James
