Can it just be in the harness?


I'd have thought so.

HARNESS_BAIL_ON_FAIL => Stop the whole run on the first failure

And perhaps for completeness:

HARNESS_SKIP_ON_FAIL => Stop the failing test program on first failure

I'm not sure the second has merit. As Ovid says you probably wouldn't want that to be global. I guess with a really failtastic test suite it gives you a quick overview of which tests have problems.
