Hi Bob, I suppose you could group your variables by testcase and put them into a configuration file (say testcases.yml) and get each test to read in the configuration using Config::Any. With Config::Any you can use most config file formats: XML, YAML, JSON, .ini, etc. Also you can use prove.exe to run tests under harness rather than using your perl one-liner. http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?prove for details though I normally just do "prove -bv t/*.t".
