My main problem is that I can't write anything of my own.

The test sequence tries to stay as close to the default as possible.

Which means all I can do is:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

So rather than writing my own harness, I actually need to try and get 
support added to the existing harnesses. I can upgrade them before I run 
that sequence, but I can ONLY run that sequence, I don't interface via 
my own Perl.
