- test_external [<prereq>] <message> <external> <script>
Execute a <script> with an <external> interpreter (like perl). This
was added for tests like t9700-perl-git.sh which do most of their
work in an external test script.

'GitwebCache::*FileCache*' \
"$PERL_PATH" "$TEST_DIRECTORY"/t9503/test_cache_interface.pl
If the test is outputting its own TAP you should set the
test_external_has_tap variable somewhere before calling the first
test_external* function. See t9700-perl-git.sh for an example.
# The external test will outputs its own plan
test_external_has_tap=1
- test_external_without_stderr [<prereq>] <message> <external> <script>
Like test_external but fail if there's any output on stderr,
instead of checking the exit code.
