Whoops! I didn't realize anyone was using that Textfile
module. We can resurrect that if you'd like (call it
ParseableTextfile).

There's also the INIFile Reporter. That might be your best
bet, since there's a Config::INIFiles CPAN module. (Your
wrappers are in Perl, right?) Though wouldn't it be even
easier if there were a PerlDumper Reporter module so you
could read in the data *directly* to your Perl wrappers?
Your wrapper would do no parsing then. E.g.,

    open(FILE, "< $file");
    undef $/;
    $mtt_results = <FILE>;
