I ran into a similar problem and came up with a very ugly, don't-try-this-at-home solution I posted in use.perl 
 my( $totals, $failed ) = eval {
            local @INC = @INC;
            local *STDOUT;                # Shut up Test::Harness!
            local *STDERR;                # Yeah, you too!
            my $MM = ExtUtils::MM->new(); # and you!
 
            unshift @INC, map { File::Spec->rel2abs($_) }
                @{ $MM }{ qw( INST_LIB INST_ARCHLIB ) };
 
            Test::Harness::_run_all_tests( @test_files )
            };

I could use Test::Harness::Straps to do this all myself, but at the time I was on a bit of a deadline and wasn't sure I could reproduce everything _run_all_tests did, so I just wrapped it.

This solution is a slightly (very slightly) easier than shelling out to `make test` and parsing the output since I only needed the percentage of tests that fail. Besides, I was curious if it would work.

To repeat: very ugly kludge for demonstration purposes only. If you truly, deeply, and sincerely need to do this sort of thing, look at Test::Harness::Straps which can run everything for you and hand you back the information. I haven't done that yet because I've been little-l lazy (or big b Busy).
