I'd say do it where you feel it fits and which one you feel more comfortable
extending. As a rule of thumb:
- if you have an additional case to add that fits the configuration in the perl
test suite, maybe do it there.
- if you need a completely new vhost setup and specials, maybe the pytest one
works better for you
(having added the pytest suite, I am biased here, of course.)
