I tried something similar before, even submitted a PR for it.

But later I got feedbacks that the test must run under some situation,
for example, set environment variables to indicate the database (DBD-*),
or to run some daemon or process before testing (X, or memcached ...)

So, I gave up and closed that PR, and update my own package-building script
to run 'make test' for p5-* ports. :p
