Is there one that doesn't suck? Any thoughts on a custom built test harness that is written in Java (barf)? Test harness gripes? How difficult is it for you to stop coding so that your test meets the harness seemlessly as the harness will allow? Clarification on that last one: you have to not code your own test harness since you already have one provided for you. Any gripes on limitations of your test harness? Dopey scenario sytax? Ridiculous work arounds you've had to do?

I work quite happily with Test::Harness and prove most of the time. I've got a few custom Test::Harness::Straps based runners for particular issues but generally I've found the Perl test harnesses to do what I need.

What problems are you having?
