Test::Harness 3 has this built in. Its prove has an --exec switch which allows you to explain how you'd like tests run. TAP::Parser has an exec option to do the same. Also, using a little known feature of Perl, you can get Test::Harness 2 to do this without any modification. Just say "#!/usr/bin/php" or "#!/usr/bin/env php" or whatever on the #! line of the test and Perl will honor it and run the program through php. Yes, this is documented in perlrun. -- Whip me, beat me, make my code compatible with VMS!
