Frequently Unasked Question:

        But Schwern, if we run all of our tests through Test::Harness, not only 
will 
it not report that extra diagnostic information but it doesn't run non-Perl 
tests very easily!  Therefore we can't use TAP!

Frequently Unanswered Answer:

        You can *run* the tests and *analyze* the results in separate steps.  
That's 
why they're separate steps.

I think people get hung up on the idea that there is or has to be only one way 
to run-and-analyze tests in one step.
