We didn't do the presentation, but if you're interested in looking at what we 
prepared anyway, have a look at

It's a proof-of-concept, with still some details to flesh out, including 
taking into account the points that were raised in Lancaster. You should be 
able to download it and give it a try right now though. The code is useful 
enough for simple testing. :)

This page says "Paste not found".

I came from Lancaster with the impression that this was something many wanted 
to have into M::B. We're aiming for that. Schwern was also positive to have 
something like this implemented in EU::MM too. But in any case, ::InstallTests 
is probably a good namechange. :)
