I don't think anyone relies on the format of those outputs.
Actually, I would even like it more to have a custom format,
so to finally distinguish the expected line from the obtained one.
You can always run your preferred diff command on the files
themselves afterwards.

I never learnt how to run cpan effectively. And by effectively I include
doing it w/out having the root on a machine. Even then, it'd be the first
dependency on a non-core perl feature. I can take a look at rolling a
diff if you solve the File::Which.
