For a particular maybe unorthodox test rpoject I want to create test

(So I'm not talking about a suite *for* a distribution but the
distribution *is* the suite.)
I've done that with Test::Virtual::Filesystem, which is a generic
test suite for any mountable, POSIX-compliant FS. I based it on
Test::Class, and I'm very happy that I did.
The nearest thing I found was Test::Class. But I'm not sure it's the
right thing, read on:

Maybe I'm just missing the right idea for connecting "prove" with some
call into a TestSuite::Foo->main().
Some ideas?
Am I confusing things? :-)
Thanks.
Kind regards,

With Test::Class as the base, using the suite becomes as easy as:
_______ test.pl _______
#!perl -w
use Test::Virtual::Filesystem;
use File::Temp qw(tempdir);
my $test = Test::Virtual::Filesystem->new({mountdir => tempdir
(CLEANUP => 1)});
$test->runtests;

Then, say I just want to run the tests related to symlinks. I can do
that like so:
env TEST_METHOD='symlink.*' prove -l test.pl
