I can almost do it like this:


TAP::Harness->new({
    verbosity => $opts->{verbose} || $ENV{TEST_VERBOSE},
    timer     => $opts->{timer},
    color     => $opts->{color},
    exec      => ['psql', '-c'],
})->runtests('SELECT * FROM tap.runtest()');

However, TAP::Parser only wants raw TAP or a file name. If it's not a  
file name, it says "No such file or directory." I really want to avoid  
this. Andy, is there no way to specify that a test isn't a file? Or  
for me to use

    exec      => ['psql', '-c' 'SELECT * FROM tap.runtest()'],

and then call runtests() with no arguments, and have it call that  
script once?

Thanks,

David
