The examples seem more like a teaching tool, not a testing tool, yes? 
RFC24.pl seems like a good test script, but I'd rather use standard perl 
TAP test framework.  Ok if I use Test::More?  It comes standard with 
perl.  Then you test with "prove" (also standard)

Should test scripts go in mapserver/mapscript/perl, or 
mapserver/msautotest/perl?
