Test::Output already seems to do what you want.
stdout_like( sub{ $obj->run }, qr/as expected regex/, 'output as expe
+cted' );
Update (response to CR below): When capturing output from an external process, try IO::CaptureOutput:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More;
use Test::Output;
use IO::CaptureOutput qw(capture);
sub writer { system("echo Hubba") };
#fails: stdout_like( \&writer, qr/Hubba/ms, "it's a hubba" );
capture { writer() } \my $stdout, \my $stderr;
is( $stdout, "Hubba\n", "system hubba" );
done_testing;
#-- output:
#
# ok 1 - system hubba
# 1..1
