Each .t file is an independent program. How do you share something with a file on disk?

You could convert each test program you want to run for every config file into a module that will be used by a test program that looks something like: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Test::More;

use lib ...;

my @configs      = ...;
my @test_modules = ...;

my $num_tests = 0;
for my $test_module (@test_modules) {
    require $test_module;
    $num_tests += $test_module->get_num_tests();
}

plan tests => @configs * $num_tests;

for my $config (@configs) {
    for my $test_module (@test_modules) {
        $test_module->run_tests($config);
    }
}
