I remember working with some module that had tests something like:

plan tests => numtests();

So that when you added a new test to the bottom, the number to modify
was right there also. Ring a bell with anyone?
Googling reveals several instances of
plan tests => $numtests;
where $numtests is the result of some calculation. So there doesn't
appear to be anything preventing your approach. Just remember that, if
coded as per your example, there cannot be any tests inside BEGIN blocks
in the test file, because your call to 'plan' will miss such tests
(unless it's first in the BEGIN block).
