Not if verbose output.
Surely you jest. It is not reliably parsable, there can be garbage text
on the end of those summary lines at times. If the harness was run from
one level above a 't' directory, you'll have t/ at the beginning of the
line, but what if not? No way to predict the relative path someone will
use, how many '.....', or whether the last character on the line will be
a digit, ok, NOK, dubious, or whatever else, including just a dot. Add
to that failed or died diagnostics.
Parse this to find the results per test to write them to db. (This does
not take verbose into account where the challenge is more desperate).

It would be healthy, smart, and advantagous for the good of TAP to add
an option for delimiter.

That's all I have to say about that.
