Indeed. Further to that I produced TAP::Convert::TET which is a step  
on the way to converting Perl's test results into something the LSB  
TET infrastructure can use.

Next I need to look at converting Perl's tests so they can be run  
other than at build time - which is an altogether less trivial  
proposition.

If the will is there to include Perl in LSB I'm happy to contribute  
more work to the effort.
