The best I can suggest is the various test cases in
the ...\framework\viewer\restfulobjects\restfulobjects-tck project, which
references the tck-dom (...\framework\tck\tck-dom). They aren't complete
by any means, however.
The idea of the TCK project ("technology compatibility kit") was to provide
a standard set of domain objects that have sufficient variety to exercise
any of the standard components of Isis - be that a viewer, such as
restfulobjects - or a persistor - such as JDO/DataNucleus.
This is work-in-progress rather than finished however. I suggest you useas
a starting point for your own tests, but feel free to adapt as you see fit.
Sorry not to be able to provide anything more definitive than that.

I hardly know Perl at all, so I'm not sure I can offer very much guidance.
I guess the main thing is that the API should be generic, in that it can
interact with any domain object model (rather than being specific to
claims, or TCK, or whatever). The restfulobjects-applib shows my
interpretation of doing this from a Java standpoint, but I don't know if
that's a help or a hindrance.
