Have you considered outputting TAP http://testanything.org/ as
the whatever unit test results?

Then you could built on the exisiting Perl framework and then build a very nice
Rails based GUI to it?
Everyone would win with that.
Ruby gets a framework used by a huge amount of Perl code.
Perl gets a nice GUI that can be used for all the test output.
