    After having looked at the documentation I came to these conclusions:

    • Test::Server -- looks good but is missing the TAP parsing part I'm looking for
    • Test::System -- made for different purpose (from its documentation: "One of the things you need to keep in mind is that Test::System is NOT a monitoring system.")

    Thanks anyway.

      App::Prove or some other TAP harness would be used to collect the output of a Test::Server-based test suite. The harness (TAP-output-consumer) is separate from the TAP-generating tests themselves (TAP-output-producer). Perhaps I am not quite grokking what you are envisioning.
