Test::Class is ideal for this, and in addition it makes test fixture setup a lot more manageable. As such it is more suitable than Test::More for larger code bases, like entire applications (as opposed to library/framework style CPAN modules). Even for smaller modules, it provides a good balance between supporting structure and ease-of-use, so I'd look into that if I were you.

But if you can't solve the problem, there's always the option to automate it.
