I would like to be able to see a graphical display of the results of test cases in a Perl script or directory tree of Perl scripts (presumably, these test cases would be developed using Test::More or Test::Simple) -- something akin to Eclipse plug-ins for JUnit tests would be nice.

Ideally, I'd like to generate a red bar next to a description of failing tests, and a green bar next to a description of passing tests for all the tests in a given script or directory structure.

I'd like to know if someone else has already tried this, or get some advice on how more experienced monks would go about this effort. (Specifically, would you suggest some sort of standalone app in Tk or some other GUI framework; or, would you recommend trying to develop a module that becomes part of the Test family?)

Most importantly, would anybody else be interested in an application like this?
