Test::Harness nearing 3.0; new Smolder uses TAP::Parser

A year ago at YAPC::NA 2006 in Chicago, I sat down w/Michael Schwern and we decided we needed to scrap Test::Harness 2.x and its ancient origins. Fourteen months later, primary hackers Curtis Poe and Andy Armstrong will be releasing Test::Harness 2.99_01. It's based on the new TAP::Parser module, and is meant to be a development release for those who want to poke at what will become Test::Harness 3.0.

Michael Peters' Smolder is a web-based test runner and aggregator, and it uses the new TAP::Parser as well. This will help the Test::Harness 3.0 project get its innards tested, and gives Smolder a solid foundation to build on.

I'm looking into using Smolder at the day job as the testing bot, instead of our homegrown bot, for a website I've taken over and that needs plenty of .t-file goodness. Readers' comments about Smolder will be appreciated.
