The perl core (= the Perl 5 implementation) contains a comprehensive test suite,
that contains over half-a-million (> 500,000) test assertions for testing perl
on the host system. To run it, build perl and type "make test".
I'm not sure what's the easy way to run it on a perl binary that was already
installed to the system, but it should be doable. Make sure you run the test
suite of the version that corresponds to the version of perl that you
installed.
Hope it helps.
