Good morning,

I have begun the task of automating functional tests for some of our web
servers. I have had some success using Selenium IDE in Firefox to
capture input sequences, exporting them to Perl scripts, then using the
Se remote control server to execute them. But I have run into one minor
problem.

A basic test is to verify the error message returned when an invalid
password is entered. This test script is shown below. I can run this as
a simple test, or it can be part of a suite. The command line to
manually run the suite is normally:

perl -MTest::Harness -e "@ARGV= map glob, @ARGV \
  if  $^O =~ /^MSWin/; runtests @ARGV;" test/*.pl

Unfortunately, yes this is running on a WinXP system.

My problem is that we have multiple virtual hosts on that server, and I
need to select a specific host for each run. So when I run the harness I
need some way to pass the "tst12.dev" portion of the URL into each of
the test scripts. I can't see any way with Test::Harness or Test::More
to do this. If I can, then I have other parameters that need to be
passed in as well.

Any suggestions?
