Hi Jan,
For running multiple tests in parallel, I'm not sure if there is a
"recommended" alternative, but the two which immediately sprint to mind are
Fennec, by Chad Granum[1] and my Test::Class::Moose module[2], using the
parallel role[2]. I've also uploaded a new slide deck for Test::Class:Moose[3]
and it explains some new features, or you can watch a video about it (which is
just a touch outdated, but all examples work)[4].
Note that for Test::Class::Moose, I've just uploaded 0.42. It fixes a subtle
issue that one company ran into. You can wait for it to hit the CPAN or grab it
from github[5].

I don't know much about Fennec, but the author seems competent and responsive.
As for Test::Class::Moose, it's listed as BETA, but I know companies are
already using it in production.
Best,
Ovid
