This name is ok by me.

JlP> Could you take a look at these please?

Sure. I'll take closer look a bit later but for now only one
suggestion for POD documentation.

Instead of 

    use HTTP::WebTest::XMLParser;
    my ($tests, $opts) = HTTP::WebTest::XMLParser->parse($xmldata);

    use HTTP::WebTest;
    my $wt = new HTTP::WebTest;
    $wt->run_tests($tests, $opts);

You can write

    use HTTP::WebTest;
    my $wt = new HTTP::WebTest;
    $wt->parser_package('HTTP::WebTest::XMLParser');
    $wt->run_wtscript($xmldata);

It is supported since 2.01.
