Patch to update settings-tester.pl -- not a bug... perhaps an imrovement...

[Robert Soulliere]

Evergreen version: trunk

This is a patch to update settings-tester.pl in the support-scripts folder.

Changes include:

- Use Test::More perl module to replace eval/die tests for initial tests (as indicated in FIXME comment)
Note/question: should I add an install of the Test::More perl module in Makefile.install for Evergreen prerequisites?

- Add a statement to print postgresql version.

- Add an elsif during "driver" testing to say OK to SIP driver since this is used in telephony section. -- remove scary ERROR

- Add UUID::Tiny to perl module list of checks.
question: More perl module checks needed?

Please provide feedback on if this is an improvement or if there are any other areas we should improve in this settings tester. eg.: potential new tests or removal of outdated tests.

Future tasks:
Should try to do more version checking to ensure correct versions of some problematic perl modules are correct.

After applying this patch to a trunk version of settings-tester.pl, the following error message is reported:

Useless use of a variable in void context at (eval 1110) line 2.

The error message doesn't appear with an unpatched settings-tester.pl.

I'm not sure what version of Evergreen this patch is targeted at, so I tried on the server that I've been doing the most work on lately.

Another try...

Addressed the error message.
Added a few more perlmods to test.

[Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)]

The newer patch looks good to me.

I see this works on both trunk and 2.0 as there are currently no differences between the two.

Should this be targeted for a milestone?

Committed to trunk. Thanks, Robert!
