I'm planning, within the next couple of weeks or so, to release a new
version of TAPx::Parser. Amongst other things, I have two test
harnesses now included with it (one is a subclass of the other which
allows test output to be colorized). Along with this, I have a
runtests
utility, similar to prove. Here's the start of the docs for runtests
(these are the features which are implemented. More will be added
later):

I have nothing useful to contribute - but I just feel the need to say
huzzah and thank you for TAPx::Parser. Looks jolly fun for the next
time I need to fiddle with TAP!
Oh - actually - I have thought of something :-)
Something that I've wanted in the past is a way to merge TAP streams
together. So I could take these:
1..2
ok 1 - foo the first
ok 2 - foo the second
1..2
ok 1 - bar the first
ok 2 - bar the second
and produce something like
1..4
ok 1 - foo the first
ok 2 - bar the first
ok 3 - bar the second
ok 4 - foo the second
The reason I wanted it was so that I could merge the results of tests
I was running on a distributed set of machines (for purposes of
speed) together and present the results as soon as they were ready.
In the end I ended up hacking something together that merged whole
test runs, rather than individual tests because that was easy(ier)
