checks the STD database

creates a test description of ordered name,value pairs database array @{$self->{$module}->{test_db}}

generates a check script that numbers the ok the same as if generated by a test script The name for the check script is the STD database Temp field and usually is temp.pl.

Change the ok fields in the STD database according to the ok tranlation table from the check script.

$demo_only_expected

Once only flag set by the A subroutine and reset by the next E subroutine. There should be no E subroutine after a A demo only subroutine.

$ok
