Yes, they're written in Perl. Yes, it will run on Windows. The nice part about TAP::Parser and the Test Anything Protocol is that the test itself and the thing running the tests are two different processes. They communicate through a protocol called TAP. So you can have your test runner in Perl (which is TAP::Harness http://search.cpan.org/dist/TAP-Parser/) and your tests written in anything. This is good because its much harder to write something to read TAP then it is to write TAP. You can read more about it on http://testanything.org/ There's a bunch of libraries in various languages to write tests using TAP. http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/TAP_Producers You may wish to look at Smolder which is a testing aggregator based on all this. It can provide pretty reports of smoke testing. http://sourceforge.net/projects/smolder -- There will be snacks.
