-=head1 Testing
-
-XXX This section has not been cleaned up yet. Do we really need this
-section? How many people are going to find a list of new test files useful?
-Anyone hacking on the core can use
-‘git diff v5.12.0..v5.14.0 MANIFEST|grep '^[+-]t/'’.
-
-XXX Any significant changes to the testing of a freshly built perl should be
-listed here. Changes which create B<new> files in F<t/> go here as do any
-large changes to the testing harness (e.g. when parallel testing was added).
-Changes to existing files in F<t/> aren't worth summarising, although the bugs
-that they represent may be covered elsewhere.
