in reply to CGI Test Framework?

That is pretty darned close to what I asked for! Thanks!

WWW::Mechanize is the exact mid-level glue I need to develop complete code coverage. What it lacks as a test platform is a consistent way to represent the inputs in external files, and a consistent way to evaluate the return values of a form POST. I'm leaning toward developing these features to work with the module.

Hmm, WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller looks like it handles the input side rather well.

I know I'm not going to escape all the drudgery in developing my tests. But I have an extreme case of Laziness, and I'd like to duck as much of the drudge as I can. Also I'd like to build on others' work in case I come up with something useful enough to share. That way I don't have to maintain the whole pile myself. (More Laziness. At least I'm consistent. 8)
