I don't know about Test::More specifically, but I know for sure this works how you want in Test and it appears to work just fine (to me) in Test::More also. Oh, I see, have it do it without or die... I totally missed that. Just write a sub like Javafan does below.

Although, I'd like to say that it probably doesn't normally make sense to bail on the tests. Unless you can say that no test could possibly fail unless blarg happens. But then why not explicitly skip tests when blarg happens?
