My test aggregation took a bit longer to implement than Adrian's due to several issues. Some were bugs in tests, some were in code, but one issue which took a *long* time to debug was random segfaults.
We couldn't reproduce the segfaults in the debugger or with Devel::Trace, but after a lot of work, a colleague and I found the culprit: Contextual::Return. Like Sub::Uplevel, it overrides CORE::GLOBAL::caller. Apparently the two don't play well together, but it's very difficult to reproduce a minimal test case. Merely by removing Contextual::Return from one module, the segfault went away. We don't know why. The aggregated tests, when run through t/aggregate.t, take 2m2s. When run normally, they take 5m45s. Our test suite, which two months ago took 80m, is now 10m46s.
