OK, replying to my own message.  I just looked through Test::Simple and 
Test::More and I withdraw all of my suggestions.  Mr. Schwern has 
already thought through this more than I had realized.  I am going to 
start rewriting my own modules tests to use these fine modules!

Jarkko - what can I do to convince you to add at least Test::Simple to
the core, if not both?  I can promise to rewrite at least some of the 
existing core /lib tests to use it once it becomes available (the tests 
I get involved with, at least).

humbly

John
