# Purpose:
#    Simple search with Perl for a pattern in some file.
#
#    The advantages compared to thinkable auxiliary constructs using the
#    mysqltest language and SQL are:
#    1. We do not need a running MySQL server.
#    2. SQL causes "noise" during debugging and increases the size of logs.
#       Perl code does not disturb at all.
#
#    The environment variables SEARCH_FILE and SEARCH_PATTERN must be set
#    before sourcing this routine.
#
#    In case of
#    - SEARCH_FILE and/or SEARCH_PATTERN is not set
#    - SEARCH_FILE cannot be opened
#    the test will abort immediate.
