[PATCH - revised^4] test.pl fix

Thread Next

The attached patch makes the following updates to test.pl:
1.  Don't executing the END block (installed by test.pl) in the
watchdog process.
2.  The cleanup of the watchdog process needs a wait().  (This was
causing spurious test failures.)
3.  Use which_perl() throughout test.pl (namely _create_runperl() and
watchdog()).
Revision localizes $? before calling wait().
Revision^2 properly escapes the $? in the eval string.
Revision^3 moved $Perl to top of file.
Revision^4 uses a watchdog thread if threads is loaded.
  (I forgot that fork() + threads is a no-no.)
