My usual approach is to checkin the generator, then run it as part
of the test. If we were using Make for tests, then I could imagine:
foo.result: foo.t
foo.t > foo.result
foo.t: foo.t.pl
perl -w foo.t.pl > foo.t
I haven't actually looked at your harness, but I'm sure something
similar would work.
If the test-suite is run on multiple platforms from a shared
source-directory, then
you might choose to only run the generator once. but OTOH, it might be that
the generator knows of platform-specific issues and customizes the tests.
