TAP - the "Test Anything Protocol"

TAP is a simple protocol for test scripts (in any programming language) to communicate with a test harness. Invented by Larry Wall for Perl 1, and having evolved further, TAP is very suitable for universal language-independent testing.

Perl has several TAP Consumers that can read TAP, process it and do something with the results.
