modify perl coding standard test format to match the c tests--one test
per standard, rather than one test per file.

coding standard tests are designed to test maintainability, not
functionality. testing parrot functionality is much more important
than testing maintainability--just look at perl 5 :-)

inflating test numbers (and percentages) by adding a zillion coding
standards tests leads to false perception of test coverage. i'd like
very much to avoid this situation.
