-## Bioperl Test Harness Script for Modules
-##
-# CVS Version
-# $Id$
-
-
-# Before `make install' is performed this script should be runnable with
-# `make test'. After `make install' it should work as `perl test.t'
-
-#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-## perl test harness expects the following output syntax only!
-## 1..3
-## ok 1  [not ok 1 (if test fails)]
-## 2..3
-## ok 2  [not ok 2 (if test fails)]
-## 3..3
-## ok 3  [not ok 3 (if test fails)]
-##
-## etc. etc. etc. (continue on for each tested function in the .t file)
-#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-## We start with some black magic to print on failure.
