1.  Your leading "plan 3" only had two begin/end sets.
2.  I'd feel more comfortable if the "end" block also carried the
description.
3.  Infinite TAP streams are allowed.  Infinite test files possibly
should be allowed, also.

There are non-perl folk on this list.  They might not know what
BEGIN/END blocks are.  In any event, I'd still prefer to specify
behavior rather than implementation.
