Attached a patch with more tests converted to perl-style (this file includes 
everything
starting with your patch).

It also includes two minor fixes:
   maint: fix wrong PATH in testsuite
   tests: fix new 'empty' perl test
And a minor improvement to the perl infrastructure:
   tests: keep temporary directory if SAVE_TEMPS requested

Comments welcomed,
