Thanks Ovid! This may be exactly what I'm looking for (since I'm going to
have tests in libtap and perl). However, and I apologize if I'm wrong about
this, doesn't your proposed solution have to start a new perl interpreter
for every single test file? If so, that might up being too slow for
practical use.

If you want things to be *really* easy to run test suites in multiple
languages, do this.
First, make sure that all test programs are executable. Then use this
driver program:
$ cat bin/run.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $prog = shift;
unless ( -e $prog && -x _ ) {
die "Cannot find or execute ($prog)";
}
exec $prog;
Then 'find' all executable files and use the '--exec' option with
runtests to execute all of them with the 'bin/run.pl' program:
$ find t/ -perm /u+x -type f | xargs runtests --exec bin/run.pl
t/tap........ Failed 1/3 subtests
t/perl.......ok
Test Summary Report

t/tap.exe (Wstat: 0 Tests: 3 Failed: 1)
Failed tests: 2
Files=2, Tests=5, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.04 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.04
CPU)
Cheers,
