If that's all you're doing, it's not such a big thing to roll on your own:
my @tests = sort <my/dir/*.pl>; #update: need to sort the glob list my $return = my $testid = 0; while ( $return == 0 ) { warn "Running $tests[$testid]...\n"; $return = system( $tests[$testid++] ); }
But learning to use MM is bound to be a good thing anyway, so why ask us whether you should do it?

update: if your scripts are actually moving data, then of course you'll need to prefix that loop with whatever steps are needed to clear out the destination db before the loop starts -- unless the first script in your list takes care of that.
