language harness

There are 3 ways to run a language test:

  • Overall Harness

    cd languages && make test

  • Per Language Harness

    e.g., cd languages/tcl && make test

  • Run a single test for more detailed output.

    e.g., cd languages/tcl && t/joe_test.t

We are assuming that we are running out of parrot/languages; we are being called by languages/Makefile with an explicit perl. All languages have a Makefile with a "test" target, and any prereqs required by that test have already been built.
