That's a great start.  I assume you have a copy of Schwern's grep_cpan
script?

Hmm, I was under the impression that a fair amount of code does rely on
parsing the Test::Harness output.  If that's the case, a good first pass is
to make an exact duplicate of TH and provide an API for gathering that
information rather than scraping.  Of course, it also depends upon what
output information is being scraped.  If it's only something simple like 'All
tests successful', then this is an easier task.
