+
+# IF YOU NEED >1 MAKEFILE FOR THIS TEST, USE &get_tmpfile; TO GET
+# THE NAME OF THE MAKEFILE.  THIS INSURES CONSISTENCY AND KEEPS TRACK OF
+# HOW MANY MAKEFILES EXIST FOR EASY DELETION AT THE END.
+# EXAMPLE: $makefile2 = &get_tmpfile;
+
+open(MAKEFILE,"> $makefile");

+# Run make.  You may specify a makefile, but if you don't want to, just
+# insert "" where $make_filename is now.  You may also specify specific
+# options to run make with, but you also don't have to. (Insert "" where it 
+# says <FILL IN OPTIONS HERE>), The last field in this subroutine call
+# is the code which is returned from make.  If you think that make should
+# execute with no errors, you may OPTIONALLY put 0; Otherwise put the 
+# error code that you expect back from make for this test.
+
+# Every time you run make, you just need to say &get_logfile and that
+# subroutine will get a new logfile name for you in incrementing order
+# according to how many times you call it within ONE test.  It is 
+# reset to 0 at the beginning of every new test script.

+# THE REST OF THIS FILE DEPENDS HIGHLY ON WHAT KIND OF TEST YOU ARE
+# CREATING, SO IT WILL VARY.  BASICALLY, YOU MAY INSERT ANYTHING YOU 
+# WISH AT THIS POINT TO SEE IF THE TEST WORKED OK.  IF THERE ARE 
+# ADDITIONAL TESTS BESIDES &compare_output, AND IT FAILES, YOU
+# MUST *** SET $test_passed = 0 !!! ***

+
+# COMPARE RESULTS
+
+# In this call to compare output, you should use the call &get_logfile(1)
+# to send the name of the last logfile created.  You may also use
+# the special call &get_logfile(1) which returns the same as &get_logfile(1).

+# If you wish to &error ("abort
+") if the compare fails, then add a "|| &error ("abort
+")" to the
+# end of the previous line.
+
+# This tells the test driver that the perl test script executed properly.
