SYNOPSIS

           use App::CELL::Test;

           App::CELL::Test::cleartmpdir();
           my $tmpdir = App::CELL::Test::mktmpdir();
           App::CELL::Test::touch_files( $tmpdir, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' );
           my $booltrue = App::CELL::Test::cmp_arrays(
               [ 0, 1, 2 ], [ 0, 1, 2 ]
           );
           my $boolfalse = App::CELL::Test::cmp_arrays(

DESCRIPTION

       The "App::CELL::Test" module provides a number of special-purpose functions for use in CELL's test suite.

EXPORTS

       This module exports the following routines:
           cleartmpdir
           cmp_arrays
           mktmpdir
           populate_file
           touch_files

PACKAGE VARIABLES

FUNCTIONS

   mktmpdir
       Creates the App::CELL testing directory in a temporary directory (obtained using File::Temp) and returns
       the path to this directory in the payload of a status object.

   cleartmpdir
       DESTROYs the temporary directory object (see File::Temp).

       _touch

       Touch a file

   touch_files
       "Touch" some files. Takes: directory path and list of files to "touch" in that directory. Returns number
       of files successfully touched.

   populate_file
       Takes filename (full path) and contents (as a string, potentially containing newlines) to write to it. If
       the file exists, it is first unlinked. Then the routine creates the file and populates it with the
       contents. Returns true if something was written, or false if not.

   cmp_arrays
       Compare two arrays of unique elements, order doesn't matter.  Takes: two array references Returns: true
       (they have the same elements) or false (they differ).
