That's subtests having overall test state. Ideally don't want the subtests
to have *any* awareness that they're being run as a subtest.
Again, consider the following:
local $ENV{FOO} = 'bar';
system("$^X foo.t");
local $ENV{FOO} = '';
system("%^X foo.t");
{ local $ENV{FOO};
delete $ENV{FOO};
system("$^X foo.t");
}
A cheap way to run a single test in a variety of different environments.
Or...
foreach my $test (glob("t/subdir/*.t")) {
system("$^X $test");
}
the world's simplest test harness.
