Oh, yes, I have some thoughts :) Grab the latest TAP::Parser: svn checkout http://svn.hexten.net/tapx Then all you need to do is create a small Perl program (well, any executable, really) which will run your tests any way you want, including passing arguments to them: runtests --exec ./my_test_driver See the examples/README and the examples/my_exec for an example of how to do this (the particular example included runs tests written in Ruby, Perl, and validates a couple of Web pages).
