Subject: T::Builder more strict on 'plan' placement than TAP
The TAP spec says that the plan can be either the first or last line of output (either above or below the diagnostic lines). Test::Builder will refuse to do anything without a predefined test. I think one of the great strengths of T::Builder is that it allows dev's to create tests on the fly... but this is of limited use due to the predefined plan restrictions. I sometimes don't know the plan until the end. Anyway the fix can be pretty straight forward. I wouldn't mind doing it for you.

Should read: Test::Builder will refuse to do anything without a predefined test plan.

I am planning on dropping the plan-before-test requirement as well as adding a "until I say I'm done" plan, but it'll probably have to wait for Test::Builder 2.

The restriction on having to have a plan declared before running a test has been lifted as part of implementing done_testing(). You can now declare the plan at the end. There's no exposed way of changing the plan once its been declared, but that's another show. This version hasn't been released, but you can get a copy from the repository. http://github.com/schwern/test-more/tree/master
