When I was experimenting with this idea at work I hacked things by having an
END block that checked $?, and if it was non-zero printing out the seed.
However, this doesn' seem to be a good idea for production code.
Belated response... but the END block solution doesn't seem that nasty to me. What problems do you see for production code?
You might want to have a chat to Janek Schleicher since his Test::ManyParams also sets the pseudo-random seed. It would be nice if your modules could play nice together :-)

PS Or you could use Test::Class and stick the print in the DESTROY method for the class :-)
