Hi, I'm using "prove" to run tests produced by shell scripts. These shell scripts should be tested with various shells. So, manually, prove -e sh -j9; prove -e bash -j9 etc.

Now, I'd like to run the tests in parallel for all the shells (that's where the bottleneck really is). I can see several options:

  1. Create a bunch of wrapper scripts that run the actual tests, and test the Nt * Nsh wrappers instead of the actual tests. Horrible.
  2. Set up the harness manually and call runtests with multiple aliases for each .t file
  3. Extend TAP::Harness
  4. Learn more about Plugin, SourceHandler

Where should I look?
