I believe you mean running the contents of a directory in serial.  I had 
a fair bit of luck doing that with `runtests` "back in the day", but 
IIRC, I had to put a silly hack in t/harness to get the list of tests 
out of there.

At least, that's what I used in parrot's harness the other day.  One 
could (and some may) argue that the environment variable should be more 
specifically named, but I don't.
