You can't quite do it yet unless you want to risk trying to parse the relatively free-form diagnostics. The problem there is that STDERR and STDOUT are not always in synch and it can be difficult to know what diagnostics apply to what tests. Hell, even if they *are* in synch, spurious diagnostics can mess up this heuristic approach. What you need is the metadata which is currently not part of TAP. We've worked on this for the next version of TAP (in fact, you can inspect the code and see that we allow already allow embedded YAML blocks in TAP for this) and that will have parseable metadata for you. However, there are a few obstacles: * Schwern needs to update Test::Builder (or get a patch) which provides the metadata in YAML format if the test harness can recognize it. * We need to get TH3 out the door first and we've gotten bogged down by some side issues. Once TH3 is out the door and we nail down some issues with parallelization and extendability, we're probably going to return to the TAP upgrade work. That's probably not the answer you wanted, but that's the direction we're heading.
