The `test_readlink()` helper function reads a symbolic link and returns the path it is pointing to. It is thus equivalent to the readlink(1) utility, which isn't available on all supported platforms. As such, it is implemented using Perl so that we can use it even on platforms where the shell utility isn't available. While using readlink(1) is not an option, what we can do is to implement the logic ourselves in our test-tool. Do so, which allows a bunch of tests to pass when Perl is not available.
