Could we not add a feature to prove and/or runtests such that, any

I've often wanted this myself, and --exec seems like overkill to me.
Seconded.
My only request would be that we not overload the meaning of --.
I could easily see, though:
prove -v t/ --testargs --db=test
which would be less ambiguous than
prove -v t/ -- --db=test
Agreed. I think the '--' is redundant
My only concern about any of this is that it opens the door for the
"I want to pass different arguments to different tests...."
We could just say "you can't" :)
Or rather "here's the tail of @ARGV - make of it what you will".
