Why do we need OpenDDS run_test.pl?

I am running OpenDDS MPC based example stockQuoter. I deleted the run_test.pl, still the project builds and runs properly. why do we need this Perl script?

Solution

You don't really need it and you're free to start the programs directly. All examples and tests in OpenDDS have a file called run_test.pl for the purposes of testing. Among other functions, they define what programs get called with what arguments for a certain test scenario and are responsible for killing the programs if they get stuck.
