in thread using Test::* modules for generic testing of non perl stuff?
Actually that and more...
For example:
1) verify all necessary dbms client and server files are in a directory, else fail2) verify versions of client and server binaries & libraries
3) run a series of queries that pass/fail where desired
4) verify 3rd party binaries work correctly with the dbms server
5) verify os patch and kernel options
6) etc.
This one example would be used to certify a particular dbms version with the local build of the dbms and the local network
I'm doing about 1/2 this by hand now and since I'm lazy, I don't want to keep doing it. This is just an example of a whole series of other applications I wish to put Test::* towards.
