perf test script: Add perl script testing support
Basic coverage of perl script support from `perf script`. This is
disabled by default and so the test will most normally skip.
Committer testing:
$ perf test 'perf script perl'
106: perf script perl tests : Skip
$ perf test -vv 'perf script perl'
106: perf script perl tests:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 578323
perf script perl test [Skipped: no libperl support]
---- end(-2) ----
106: perf script perl tests : Skip
$ perf check feature libperl
libperl: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBPERL_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, use LIBPERL=1 and install perl-ExtUtils-Embed/libperl-dev to build with it )
$
Install perl-ExtUtils-Embed, build with LIBPERL=1, rebuild:
$ perf check feature libperl
libperl: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBPERL_SUPPORT
$ perf test 'perf script perl'
106: perf script perl tests : Ok
$ perf test -vv 'perf script perl'
106: perf script perl tests:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 588206
Testing event: sched:sched_switch
perf script perl test [Skipped: failed to record sched:sched_switch]
Testing event: task-clock

generated Perl script: /tmp/__perf_test_script.RpMn5.pl

perf script perl test [Success: task-clock triggered $VAR1]
