Description

There are 3 folders within trunk/perl which contain large numbers of .t test
files:

• trunk/perl/t/core – stubs which invoke core tests written in C.
• trunk/perl/t/binding – tests targeting binding code specifically.
• trunk/perl/t – not yet categorized.

All .t files loose within the t/ directory need to be dealt with. When they
test core code, they should be ported to C so that other host language
bindings may run them. When they test binding code, they should be moved
underneath t/binding/.

It's reasonable to create a new sub-issue underneath this one for each
test file so that we don't accumulate hundreds of comments and patches.
