 Great!  As David commented the most important thing is to have a 
 regression test and a place where more tests can be added in the future. 
   So go ahead and commit it.
 
 You might want to add tests for the [#*n] and the [=char=] notations.
 
 Also, verify that your tests interact gracefully with Perl's 
 Test::Harness prove(1) command.
