## NAME

## DESCRIPTION
    You should really look at [Test2::Suite](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Test2%3A%3ASuite/markdown). This package is some very basic essential tools
    implemented using Test2. This exists only so that Test2 and other tools required by [Test2::Suite](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Test2%3A%3ASuite/markdown)
    can be tested. This is the package Test2 uses to test itself.
