Test::More is verbose in its output as it should be. That said, when I have say a loop of tests that produces ~100 results, is there a way to flag it to say "don't say anything, except for my debug print statements"?

Being able to do so would allow me to troubleshoot specific areas of my test files without having to continuously manually edit a test file and move around nonsense like:

done_testing();
exit;

...lines.

Using something like perl t/100-test.t > /dev/null works well to display only the failed test results to STDERR, but that buries print statements.

What do you do to either stop your tests from running upon a failed one, or allow your print statements to be printed to STDOUT and bypass everything else?
