SYNOPSIS

        unit.pl [options]

DESCRIPTION

Give this module a file name and it will run the embedded TEST method for it. This module will run all module internal tests. The basic idea behind my testing is that each module has it's own tests. This keeps the tests close to the code they are testing which makes a lot of sense since when the API's change the code to change is right there and the file which is checked out is also the test that needs to be retun!
