TAP::Harness already reads structured diagnostics, if it sees a "TAP version 13" header. Doesn't really do anything with it, but the data is available. It's Test::Builder that's dragging its feet. AndyA hacked in some basic diagnostic handling to Test::More with Test::More::Diagnostic if you want to play. http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-More-Diagnostic -- You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til you understand who's in ruttin' command here. -- Jayne Cobb, "Firefly"
