This problem can (as I'm sure you know :-) be mitigated by building and tearing down your own test fixtures in a single test script rather that using lots of different *.t scripts to isolate your tests.
Many of our .t files already have over a hundred individual tests (i.e., ok() tests). Each .t does specific setup and teardown, and many use END {} blocks to do useful things like destroy temporary database objects that were inserted for purposes of testing, and which shouldn't be there by the time the next bunch of tests runs. Combining these tests would be possible, but only at the expense of a lot of work. We're getting more mileage by attacking bloat first.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
