Subject: Wishlist: set required archive parameter from environment
I've patched Test::Harness to easily allow a TAP::Harness subclass using a HARNESS_SUBCLASS environment variable. I'd like to be able to set TAP_HARNESS_ARCHIVE_FILE environment variable (or some similar name) instead of the required parameter to new(). If so, then I should be able to get existing smoke test rigs to spit out TAP archives with minimal changes to distribution testing code, which could be useful for various types of regression testing, CPAN Testers 2.0, etc. (If you have a git repo for this somewhere, let me know and I'll just clone and patch for you.) Thanks, David

That would be cool and an easy addition to make. Show quoted text

It's in Andy Armstrongs repo (along with TAP::Harness and some other TAP related modules): http://svn.hexten.net/tapx/TAP-Harness-Archive/trunk/
